Man has been harvesting cork for over 5000 years. Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak and can be harvested every nine years. The harvesting of the cork does not hurt the Cork Oak. To the contrary, it actually extends the life of the tree and increases its absorption of CO2. Initially used to produce fishing gear, cork quickly found a valuable use as a stopper for bottles and flasks. Modern applications include the production of "Cork Leather".
Cork Leather can be used in a variety of applications, including upholstery, accessories, home goods, and shoes. Really any application that values the intrinsic durability, stain resistance, character, and, above all, sustainability that cork leather provides.
