Sustainiture is the home of products for the home and beyond made from Suberise Cork Leather; the most sustainable and beautiful material in the universe of vegan leather.
Cork leather is made from natural cork which is a sustainable and planet friendly material. Cork leather is soft, flexible and light. Its elasticity means that it retains its shape and its honeycomb cell structure make it water resistant, flame resistant and hypoallergenic. It does not absorb dust and can be wiped clean with soap and water.
Man has been harvesting cork for over 5000 years. Cork is the bark of the Cork Oak and can be harvested every nine years. The harvesting of the cork does not hurt the Cork Oak. To the contrary, it actually extends the life of the tree and increases its absorption of CO2. Initially used to produce fishing gear, cork quickly found a valuable use as a stopper for bottles and flasks. Modern applications include the production of "Cork Leather".
