Cork Oak Tree (Quercus Suber)

The cork oak forests are some of the most biodiverse forests on the planet, they protect the land from desertification, home to endangered species. The cork oak is the only tree on the planet that can have it's bark completely removed without hurting or killing the lovely tree. Using cork ensures that the forests are economically viable which leads to them being taken care of and maintained. Not only does the extraction of cork ensure the survivability of these extremely bio-diverse ecosystems but harvested cork oaks take in 300-500% more CO2 than un-stripped trees while the bark regenerates itself. Using cork helps rid the environment of harmful CO2! In our mind they are something worth fighting for.

Using cork comes with a host of benefits that make it the ideal choice to use in fashion. We hope using animal skins becomes a thing of the past and that we can help, if even just a little bit, move the world forward by using cork!
