About Us

Texas Cork Company is a daughter-mother-run small business based in Texas, creating and currating beautiful, functional accessories from sustainable Portuguese cork. From handbags and wallets to jewelry and home goods, we blend natural style with eco-conscious values.

Our mission is to introduce more people to cork—one of nature’s most renewable and versatile materials. Every item is vegan, lightweight, water-resistant, and handmade with care. Many of our products are crafted here in Texas, and we proudly use premium cork imported from Portugal’s sustainable cork oak forests.

Our Commitment

• 🌱 Eco-friendly materials only—no animal leather
• 👜 Stylish and functional designs for everyday life
• 💬 Exceptional customer care from a family-run team
• 📦 Fast, reliable shipping from our Texas base

The Cork Oak Project

We believe sustainability doesn’t stop at the product—it’s part of a full-circle story. That’s why we created the Cork Oak Project, our initiative to grow cork oak trees and to collect used natural corks from wineries, restaurants, and individuals. The collected corks are ground down into cork granules and reused in creative, sustainable ways—including packaging, prototypes, mulch and even new product designs. We have also planted over 100 cork oak trees in Central Texas and are studying their optimal growing conditions. Our long-term goal is to cultivate cork locally, reduce our carbon footprint, and create more U.S.-made cork products. In the meantime, we will continue to work very closely with companies in the Mediteranean, mostly Portugal, to source our products.

By extending the life of natural cork, we’re reducing waste and celebrating the beauty of repurposing. It’s just one more way we’re helping cork become a household name—while keeping our values rooted in the Earth.
