Brand Description:

"Cork House is a brand that specializes in offering a wide range of products made from cork, a 100% natural and renewable material. The cork used by Cork House is sourced from the bark of cork oak trees, specifically the "sobreiro" tree found in the south of Portugal. The bark of the tree is carefully harvested, utilizing traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations.

Cork is a unique material composed of cells filled with air, coated with various compounds such as suberina and lignin. It is not only known for its durability and resistance, but also for its insulating properties. Cork House offers an array of accessories, bags, footwear, houseware, jewelry, and wallets, all crafted using this sustainable material.

The cork extraction process involves skilled individuals using specific tools to carefully remove the bark without damaging the tree. Each cork tree can provide an average of 40 to 60 kilos of cork, and the first two cork removals, known as "virgin cork," are used for various purposes including construction, fashion, design, and energy production. With each extraction, the cork texture becomes smoother, making it suitable for stopples.

Cork House prides itself on promoting environmentally friendly practices and creating unique, high-quality products that showcase the versatility and beauty of cork. Visit our stores for a diverse selection of cork souvenirs from Portugal."
