It is not common to find brands who put the planet first and who continiously turn to innovation to bring exciting solutions to excisting flawed markets. Corks harvests the bark of the cork tree, with no damage to the tree, the bark regrows and can be harvested every 8 years. A truly sustainable process. They then convert the bark into a material used to produce high quality cork sneakers.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1555328075990{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column hongo_column_animation_style=”fadeIn” width=”1/2″ hongo_bg_image_type=”cover-background” offset=”vc_col-md-4″ hongo_column_animation_duration=”1200″][vc_single_image image=”100846″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1597896143072{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column hongo_column_animation_style=”fadeIn” width=”1/2″ hongo_column_animation_delay=”200″ offset=”vc_col-md-4″ hongo_column_animation_duration=”1200″][vc_single_image image=”100844″ img_size=”full” css_animation=”none” css=”.vc_custom_1597896170787{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][vc_column hongo_column_animation_style=”fadeIn” hongo_bg_image_type=”cover-background” hongo_column_animation_delay=”400″ offset=”vc_col-md-4″ hongo_column_animation_duration=”1200″][vc_single_image image=”100841″ img_size=”full” css=”.vc_custom_1597896186023{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row hongo_enable_responsive_css=”1″][vc_column hongo_column_animation_style=”fadeIn” width=”2/3″ hongo_column_animation_duration=”1200″][vc_column_text hongo_enable_responsive_css=”1″]
FASHION SHOULD BE A FORM OF ESCAPISM AND NOT A FORM OF IMPRISONMENT

The launch of their Cork sneaker was an instant hit. So much so that the brand has already moved on to expand their collection to include Tote bags, Belts, and waist packs, all made from corks, an eco friendly, vegan, lightweight, water resistant and durable material.

What more can you ask for??
