We were first introduced to this company, EcoCork, at a Green Festival in Los Angeles a few years ago. They had a booth and sponsored a really fun fashion show. Since then we’ve subscribed to their newsletters and followed them on social media.
Based in Florida, they make these beautiful sustainable, vegan handbags and other accessories. The products, manufactured in Portugal, are made from cork, which is in turn made from an oak tree native to the Mediterranean. We just received our marble-colored wallet.
Vegan doesn’t always have to mean cheap-looking! And not only are they lovely, they’re soft, washable, stain-proof, and very light-weight – much more light-weight than my old leather wallet!
