Cork is meant to be durable. It is designed to protect the tree from the harsh environment and forests of the Mediterranean where they experience droughts and floods frequently. So it is tough! What's even better, during the natural regeneration process that follows harvesting, the cork becomes tougher and the tree's ability to absorb CO2 increases up to five times. The more it is harvested, the more it protects the environment.

Cork is produced without the harsh chemicals that you find in leather production so it's much kinder to the environment. No additives, tanning, or finishing substances are used whatsoever to process raw cork into cork leather.

Cork, is one of nature’s most amazing raw materials. It’s so exceptional that no human-made product has yet been able to replicate its unique combination of properties. 100% biodegradable, recyclable and renewable, cork is incredibly light, impermeable to liquids and gases, elastic, compressible and resilient. It provides excellent thermal and acoustic insulation, is a fire retardant, and highly abrasion-resistant. Having just one of these features would already be great. But to have them all in a single material is truly unique.
