A new year is a great opportunity to reformulate your bag collection and make it vegan, organic and sustainable. So why not this beautiful present from Mother Nature, Cork?

Cork Durability

Posted by MB CORK · January 17, 2020

Does Cork Last Long?

If it's the first time you've come across our website you must be wondering how durable is this organic material.

Cork is a highly durable material and it will last you many years if use and it's easily washed with some water and soap. Unlike animal leather, this fabric is water and flame resistant, as well as hypoallergenic.

For you to have an idea, cork is being used for space shuttles by NASA and as well as for the seats in the Lisbon subway (which are expected to last for 15 years).

Paper Fabrics

Posted by MB CORK · December 20, 2019

Maybe you already noticed our new collection of paper fabrics and if you're not acquainted about this kind of textiles you might be wondering what's so great about them.

Washable paper is a leather and fabric alternative that is lightweight and washable, can easily be cut, glued, painted, folded and sewed with a sewing machine. This material is produced from cellulose fiber, which is a substrate of wood and a natural material. The percentage of this content ranges between 60 and 90% on the textile itself.

Paper fabric products have generally been treated with fewer chemicals and are arguably more environmentally-friendly, regardless of whether composed of recycled or virgin pulp.

Kraft paper is a 100% biodegradable natural product.
