About cork

• Cork is a natural material sourced from the bark of the cork oak, a tree mainly found around the Mediterranean sea. It grows easily and its bark naturally renews itself. It can be harvested every 5 to 10 years.
• Cork also has great properties. It is light, liquid-impermeable and an excellent thermal insulator. Moreover, it is not subject to the ageing process, which results in one of the most durable raw materials.
• To make our Gorfoo cork backpacks, we use cork that comes from sustainably managed forests in Portugal.

Cork is an eco-friendly alternative to leather and synthetic fabrics.

The lining is a mix between european linen and chinese cotton, the bag is made in Quanzhou, a city famous for its history along the chinese coast. Materials and bags are mainly transported by boat with CO2 emissions around 10 gr / Ton / Km.
