Blue Cork Handbag, Mother's Day Gift, Vegan authentic Bag

authentic This unique bag has been handmade from blue cork harvested and manufactured in Portugal. It is gorgeous, practical and strong, perfect for everyday use.

A fantastic vegan gift for any women who cares about the environment!

This bag is lined with a cotton fabric but not the one displayed on the photos. It is also fully interfaced and interlined to give it structure and durability. It has one zipped pocket inside for your smaller items. Closes securely with a magnetic snap on the flap. The strap, also made of blue cork measures approximately 50cm (20"), ideal to either carry the bag in your hand or comfortably on your shoulder.

Cork is a 100% natural product extracted from the evergreen cork oak trees (Quercus Suber) that grow in Mediterranean countries, especially in Portugal. When a cork oak reaches 25 years old, a 2.5 cm thick layer of cork bark is extracted without damaging the tree or its ecosystem. After sterilisation, cork bark is pressed flat into thin sheets that are then laminated onto a textile backing support.

The blue colour has been obtained by dyeing the cork and has undergone several tests to make sure the colour is permanent. The colour is not printed so there is no risk of cracking.

Cork is light, durable, water-resistant, wear-resistant, recyclable and biodegradable; has a lovely soft smooth texture and an amazing rustic look.
