Cork Fabric - Eco-friendly fabric with a unique look and feel

Cork fabric is produced by gluing very thin cork shavings to a textile backing material. Cork is inherently lightweight, scratch resistant, waterproof, and stain resistant. The cork fabric can be glued – or sewn with standard sewing machines.

Applications for cork fabric:

It is marketed as an environmentally sustainable (vegan) alternative to leather. It is used to make handbags, wallets, furniture, sofa pillows, and shoes. It has also been used in vehicle interiors.

Details:

The cork fabric is available in an assortment of natural textures and patterns. The virgin fabric can be coloured and printed with graphics to create a very wide range of looks. A clear protective coating is often applied to further increase the fabric’s durability.

Idea:

Use cork fabric instead of plastics or leather on a sustainably-made bicycle saddle.
