If you are wondering how to properly clean and care for your cork products, you are in the right place.

Cork leather is a plant-based fabric made from the bark of cork oak trees. Our cork material is organic, vegan, sustainable, and non-toxic. It’s also 100% waterproof. Despite coming from a tree, is a very soft material with a versatile texture. Thanks to the honeycomb structure of cork, cork fabric is strong, but like any natural product, it will eventually show signs of aging. Cork bags will develop a beautiful patina over time and some burnishing may occur at structure points, but if you follow the steps below you can be confident your Leafling Bags cork bag will last a long time.

Step 1: Avoid puting your cork bag in situations susceptible to deterioration

One of the most important things when caring for your cork bag is avoid putting your cork bag in situations susceptible to deterioration. Avoid rubbing it on the ground and against harsh surfaces, keep it away from pets. Once scratched, it becomes difficult to repair the damage, so taking care of it regularly is essential to maintain your bag. Avoid exposing the cork fabric to direct sunlight or high heat as this can cause cracking or fading.

Step 2: Clean your bag on a regular basis.

To clean your cork bag or purse, all you need is a soft cloth, mild detergent or soap, warm water, and an adequate size bowl or recipient. 

Fill your bowl with warm water - never boiling, just warm enough to help the cleaning process - and, if your bag is very dirty, add a few drops of soap or mild detergent, the water should not be bubbly as the amount of detergent recommended is minimal. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials as they can damage the cork fabric. If you just need to clean a couple of stains or if you are in a rush, you can use a biodegradable wet wipe and it will be ready to go. 

Use a dry cloth to soak up any excess water and let the bag oair dry (natural position to help to keep its shape) in a well-ventilated area. Avoid exposing the cork fabric to direct sunlight or high heat as this can cause cracking or fading.

Step 3: Apply Cork Moisturizer

Applying a moisturizing agent is essential for prolonging the lifespan of your cork bag.

For that, use a cork conditioner to moisturize and preserve the supple feel of any Leafling bag.

As a general rule of thumb, you should moisturize a cork cork leather bag every 3 to 4 months, or whenever needed. If you use your purse every day, you’ll need to moisturize it more often (once a month). If it’s been dry and hot outside, you’ll need to apply cork cream more often to keep it moisturized. While the cork leather used for Leafling Bags is naturally water resistant, cork cream will moisturize the bag to make it more supple and helps the bag last longer in good condition.

Step 4: How to Store Your Cork Bag

After a long day, it can be tempting to throw your purse by the door and forget about it. However, it’s important to always store it properly. Cork fabric can develop creases if stored folded or in an awkward position so make sure your bag is stored in a natural position, preferably in a dust bag. Avoid storing it in humid or damp areas, as this can cause mould or mildew to grow. Instead, store it in a dry and cool place, such as a closet or drawer.

Cork is a vegan alternative to leather. Cork leather is a plant-based fabric made from the bark of cork oak trees. Despite coming from a tree, is a very soft material with versitile texture. Cork has this unique, soft feel that will convert you from animal leather straight away.

We import our cork leather from Portugal, they are the largest producer of cork in the world and known for their high quality.

Cork is a naturally renewable raw material, the bark of the cork oaks is peeled every nine years withoute harming the trees. The world's cork oaks bind more than 14 million tonnes of CO₂ per year. This corresponds to the annual emissions of almost six million passenger cars. The ability to store these gases is greatest during the growth phase of the tree. Therefore, a just peeled tree, which is in the structure of its new bark, can bind up to five times more CO₂ than an unpeeled oak of this species.

With the purchase of your Leafling Bag, you give Portuguese companies the opportunity to care for and reforest the forests and therefore make an active contribution to climate protection.
