What is cork leather ?

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.
