Uniquely crafted Portuguese Cork Handbags
Find me at the Great Yorkshire Show, Harrogate, 14-17 July 2026. I have a position in the 'Something Different' craft marquee on 5th Avenue.
Why choose a Cork Handbag
Each handbag showcases the unique grain and texture of natural cork, ensuring that no two pieces are exactly the same. Cork fabric is exceptionally tough, naturally water resistant, and sustainably grown in ancient forests in Portugal that support diverse ecosystems, helping to combat climate change, with the cork bark harvest taking place every 9 to 12 years allowing the tree to live for over 250 years, all helping to make the bags as practical as they are beautiful.
I also have a small range of handmade wallets and purses and some other cork gift products that compliment my handbags.
