This deceptively simple handbag perfectly showcases this luminous, watercolour-esque cork print. The forest green cork on the handles, zipper overlay and base provides a great contrast to the fluid blend of teals, greens, ambers and reds on the main cork print.
With a small zipper pocket on the exterior, the bag also features hidden strap connectors, purse feet and zipper pulls in an antique brass colour. The interior continues the colour story in a batik-like cotton print, and has a zipper pocket. The handles are cork on the front with sleek 'seatbelt' type webbing on the back.
This is a handbag and does not come with a crossbody or shoulder strap.

Information about Cork Fabric:
The cork fabric used on this bag is imported from Portugal and is real cork fused to a soft, flexible cotton woven fabric backing. Per the importer: this cork is a natural, sustainable, vegan, PETA approved, eco friendly product from Portugal. It is Touch Pro and upholstery grade quality. It has been treated with Scotchgard, UV and abrasion protectants. It can be wiped clean with a soft cloth and a weak soapy solution.
Important Notes about Cork Fabric:
- Because of the nature of cork, coming from a natural wood source, the surface is pitted with small holes and cracks. This is part of the appearance and natural quality.
- When folded, cork can sometimes have small superficial cracks that do not go through the fabric backing and do not affect the structural integrity of the project.
- Dark and bright colored dyes can sometimes rub or wear off on sharp corners, such as boxed corners at the bottom of bags or folded edges.
- You cannot iron cork as the heat will damage the glues used in making the cork fabric.
Expect normal wear and tear with use, especially on corners.
