Cork Leather Products by FeelJoy
About the product
“The future is certainly renewable but are we too late to prevent future centuries?” We are living in an era where everything in our lifestyle adds to environmental degradation. In a time where perfect bodies, products, and brands have given a new face to fashion, people are thriving to earn these as their achievements. Little do they realise, it is nowhere near to any benefits to our environment. Nevertheless, what if in these times we switch to something sustainable? Fashion and textile industry is notoriously famous as one of the major causes of pollution worldwide, but there is still hope when brands choose sustainable design, even if at niche level, to develop utilitarian products that not only promote environmental care but also positivism and self-care.
We bring to you routine items that are not just environment friendly but are also pleasing to the eye! The frequently used items being tote bag, pouch, minimalist wallet, and banner come in a unique and interesting look. The gradient of mustard, a given of cork leather, gives an elegant look to the products while the fun illustrations attracts the eyes! Cork is a renewable resource because of the way of extraction. The tree renews itself, making cork a natural, recyclable, and environmentally friendly product. The look you get is unique and aesthetically pleasing, without compromising on the quality. Use of cork leather, makes the products lighter and yet has a high tensile strength.
The production process starts with sourcing the material, which in this case is Cork Leather. Based on the required style and size, a paper pattern be prepared, which is to sample the product and see it in 3D. Once that pattern approves, the panels are sent for screen-printing to transfer the design onto the Cork’s surface. These printed panels be cut as per the approved pattern and are stitched to make the final product.
