1. 100% Natural & Renewable Source
Our cork fabric is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees (Quercus suber) without cutting down the trees. The bark regenerates every 9-10 years, making it a truly renewable and sustainable resource. Each hectare of cork forest absorbs approximately 14.7 tons of CO2 annually, actively contributing to the fight against climate change.
2. Premium Quality & Durability
Cork fabric offers a unique honeycomb cellular structure providing exceptional abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and natural elasticity. Unlike traditional leather, cork fabric will not crack or peel easily, ensuring long-lasting performance for finished products.
3. Enhanced Protective Coating Available
Natural cork material alone is porous and prone to staining. To solve this, we offer an advanced protective coating that provides superior stain resistance, wear resistance, and scratch resistance. This coating effectively protects the cork surface, significantly extending the service life of cork-based products.
4. Eco-Friendly & Vegan
Cork fabric contains no animal products, making it a 100% vegan alternative to traditional leather. The production process uses water-based adhesives and avoids harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, AZO dyes, PVC, and phthalates. It is biodegradable, hypoallergenic, and safe for asthma sufferers.
5. Multiple Backing Options
We offer various fabric backing options to suit different applications: PU faux leather backing (0.6mm), TC fabric backing (63% cotton/37% polyester), 100% cotton, linen, organic cotton, bamboo fabric, Tencel, and recycled materials. Each backing provides different levels of flexibility, breathability, and structural support.
6. Customization Services
Full customization available including: digital or screen printing for branded patterns, embossing with various textures (crocodile, pebble, linen), custom colors and gradient dyeing, hot-stamping with metallic foils, custom width, thickness (0.4mm to 1.2mm), and roll lengths. Protective coating can also be customized based on your durability requirements.
7. Versatile Applications
Cork fabric is suitable for a wide range of products: handbags, wallets, belts, shoes, watch straps, phone cases, notebook covers, upholstery (sofas, chairs, car seats), wall coverings, table runners, craft projects, and apparel accents. Its soft yet durable nature makes it easy to cut, sew, glue, punch, and laminate.
8. Certified Quality
Our cork fabric meets international safety and environmental standards including SGS tests for ROHS2.0, EN71-3, and REACH compliance. We also offer OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified options and FSC-certified raw materials from Portugal.
9. Easy Maintenance with Coating
With our protective coating applied, the cork surface becomes much easier to maintain. It resists daily stains, dust, and minor scratches. Simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth when needed. The coating also provides anti-mildew and anti-bacterial properties, keeping the material clean and durable for years.
