Cork Leather the Best Alternative to Animal Leather
Cork leather is a great material.
We’ve been using it to launch a collection of items made of plant-based leather, including this beautiful card holder.
Why?
Because cork leather is the best alternative to animal leather.
It’s beautiful, natural, and eco-friendly. That’s perfect if like me you care about the environment.
Yes.. here’s the real issue:
Fashion is the second most polluting industry in the world after the oil industry. (What!?) It is also the second after agriculture in terms of water usage.
Shocking, right?
One of the reasons behind the terrible statistics of the fashion industry is animal leather. That’s why I would like to tell you about a material that is a sustainable, natural, and fashionable.
