We recommend that you clean your cork product on a regular basis. Start with warm clear water on a soft cloth and wipe it gently. If necessary, add a drop or two of mild liquid soap to your water (such as a dish soap or hand soap). For really stubborn stains such as sharpie or pen, gently wiping with a little rubbing alcohol on a soft dry cloth should do the trick.

Sunglass lenses should be cleaned with a microfiber cloth to avoid scratching the lenses.

How are cork bags made?

The cork bark is first made into cork leather using thin layers of bark adhered to a backing of some sort. They backing can vary from cotton, to cotton blends, to neoprene and more. Cork leather is then used to make the bag the same way an animal leather or vinyl would be used.

How does cork leather wear compared to animal leather?

Very similarly. Just like with animal leather, there are varying degrees of quality with cork leather. Given the same use, you can expect a good quality cork product to wear as long as you would expect the same product to last in animal leather.

How do I clean my cork product?

Wipe it with a clean, wet cloth first. Add a drop or two of dish soap such as Dawn if the stain is tough. As a last resort try an alcohol wipe to clean it.

Where does cork come from?

Cork is harvested from the cork oak tree. The bark  is removed about every 9-14 years. Depending on the age of the tree, the bark is then punched into wine corks or boiled, flattened, and sliced and made into thin sheets. The sheets are then adhered to a backing making it suitable for as "fabric" or "cork leather". Cork trees grow natively in the Mediterranean area. Portugal is the world's number 1 exporter of cork.

Can cork be laser engraved?

Yes! We laser engrave many of our products. We engrave coasters and placemats as well as the cork leather fabric. Like any other material being engraved, you must be careful of the settings you are using.

Does cork float?

Yes, in it's raw form, Cork is inherently bouyant. However, not all cork products float. Take a wine stopper and throw it in water and it will float. We've experimented with our hats and yes they float! Our plastic based sunglasses, sadly, did not float...too much plastic to weigh them down. However, our Wave Chasers Sunglasses that are made from bambo and cork float beautifully. An empty purse might float. We do not recommend using your purse full of your personal items as a floatation device. Our new fishing bobbers and lures definitely will float.
