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.
