Bags made out of cork? Yes, and the result has been very satisfactory. Cork has unequalled features that make this natural product suitable for fashion accessories. There are many characteristics that are unique to cork, such as lightweight, waterproof, rot resistant, recoverable and durable. We made some bags out of cork and want to share them with you. We hope you enjoy them.
The fact that Comme des Garçons is one of our favourite accessories brands is an open secret. The Japanese brand just released some more designs in their Very Black Line. In a previous post we told you about two of their most extreme lines. Once again, “Made in Spain” is kept as an asset for the brand.
Today, we want to show collaboration between two traditional industries, Leather & Carpentry Industries. This project started some months ago within the framework of a project led by IES Carlos III , a local Training Workshop. The Project tries to strengthen bonds between these two guilds so that they can share techniques and ideas for better-made products.
The pictures and the video below show the making process of ash table with leather wrapped panels. We hope you enjoy it…
