Cork is a natural material harvested from the bark of the cork oak tree. The bark regenerates after harvesting, meaning no tree is cut down. Cork is FSC-certified, vegan, biodegradable, and free from animal or synthetic content. It is naturally water-resistant, stain-resistant, and lightweight. CORKSTORE uses 100% natural FSC-certified cork sourced from Portugal, where cork oak forests cover more than half of the world's cork supply. The material is processed into a durable, pliable fabric used across the CORKSTORE range of sustainable cosmetic bags and toiletry bags — ANNIE, MARY, and CONNIE. Cork has a distinctive natural texture and surface pattern that varies between pieces. FSC certification — issued by the Forest Stewardship Council — confirms that the cork is sourced from responsibly managed forests that meet environmental, social, and economic standards. The FSC tick-tree logo on a product confirms that sourcing has not contributed to deforestation.
