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.

Q. How does cork leather wear compared to animal leather?

A. 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.

Q. What happens if my cork product gets wet?

A. By nature, cork is water resistant, stain resistant and antimicrobial. Getting wet should not hurt your product, in fact, many of our products are machine washable. Just let it dry. We do not currently carry them, but in Portugal, they have cork umbrellas!

Q. How do I clean my cork product?

A. 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. In fairness, there are a few things that will stain cork that will be nearly impossible to remove such as prolonged exposure to red wine and wearing new dark denim jeans.

Q. Where does cork come from?

A. 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".

Q. Can cork leather be embroidered?

A. Yes! We embroider designs and letters on many of our products.

Q. I see you've painted on some of your products, will it come off in the rain?

A. No, we use a paint that once dried is permanent. We don't sell it until the paint is fully dried.

Q. Can cork be laser engraved?

A. Yes! We laser engrave many of our products. Like any other material being engraved, you must be careful of the settings you are using.

Q. Does cork float?

A. That depends on the product. Cork is inherently bouyant. Take a wine stopper and throw it in water and it will float. We've experimented with our hats and yes they floats! 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.
