CHANGE mind?

Despite the growing awareness of environmental friendliness and ethical production practices, a genuine leather jacket, shoes or a luxury bag made from this material remains a status symbol and a coveted item in the wardrobe.

However, it is often overlooked where these special garments or accessories come from, under what conditions they are produced and, above all, how many chemicals are used to achieve the desired shape, color and feel. It is time to think consciously about what constitutes high-quality products and what ecological footprint they leave behind. 

Does a brand equal high quality if it has been on the market for a long time and sells its products at extremely high prices? Or is there more to it than that?

500

Gramm chemicals

Up to 500 grams of chemicals can be added to one kilogram of raw animal hide to ensure the desired durability. Without this, leather products cannot maintain their quality, especially in terms of color and structure.

2700

Liter of water

It takes up to 15,000 litres of water to produce one kilo of cotton (2,700 litres on average). One T-shirt requires one kilo of raw cotton and around one kilo of environmentally harmful chemicals, which in turn contribute to water pollution.

Our COLLECTION

Things to know about
CORKANA handbag

  • MAIN MATERIAL

    Our handbags are made from sustainable cork fabric, most of which is sourced directly from family businesses in Portugal. The cork fabric is printed using an environmentally friendly process that makes it possible to transfer practically any desired color and motif onto the material.
  • INNER LINING

    The use of certified organic cotton ensures that the cotton plants are grown without the use of harmful pesticides or chemical fertilizers. This is not only to protect the environment, but also to promote a healthy working environment for the people involved in production.
  • ZIPPER

    We maintain a close partnership with the largest zip manufacturer in Europe. This renowned company consistently uses 100% recyclable material for its products. Working with a pioneer in the industry ensures that our products are completely environmentally friendly.
  • LIGHTNESS

    Conventional bags can weigh up to two kilograms even when empty. If you fill them with personal items, the weight can easily increase to up to ten kilograms. In contrast, our bags weigh a maximum of one kilo.
  • LIMITED EDITION

    The sad reality is that some manufacturers burn their overproduction at the end of the year to avoid a loss of image or falling prices. In contrast, we produce each of our models in a limited edition of 100 pieces. We are constantly working on new collections to be able to enchant you again and again.
