The Vision<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Fashionable  and Sustainable<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The inspiration for CORKANA came from a personal experience when I had to dispose of my former favorite bag after only a short period of use due to quality problems. This experience made me realize that there was a gap in the market that needed to be filled: the creation of a handbag that was not only fashionable but also of exceptional quality. The bag had to last for years and be made without plastic or animal products. Of course, I didn\u2019t want to spend an enormous amount of money on it either. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since I already trusted the positive properties of cork fabric, I began a thorough search. I discovered that cork bags are a sustainable choice but are often available in natural colors that don\u2019t match my personal style. From this need, the vision for CORKANA was born \u2013 stylish cork handbags that emphasize the diversity and beauty of this sustainable material. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two years of hard work and dedication, CORKANA was born. Each of our bags embodies timeless elegance and combines it with the innovative sustainability of cork. We are proud to offer high-quality products that not only match your individual style, but also contribute to the protection of our environment. Welcome to CORKANA, where sustainability and style go hand in hand! <\/p>\n\n\n

It is estimated that up to 14 million tonnes of carbon dioxide are sequestered annually in the cork oak forest. A considerable contribution to reducing greenhouse gas emissions, the main cause of climate change. But the forests can do even more\u2026 <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Cork oaks can be harvested up to 10 times during their life cycle. Trees whose bark is regularly harvested even bind more than three times as much CO2 as an unused cork oak. Cork forests are one of the 36 global biodiversity hotspots. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>
