Portugal is the largest producer of cork in the world. Cork is a natural material derived from the cork oak tree. It has a history of use dating back for thousands of years and is growing in popularity in current times because it is a renewable and sustainable raw material. Cork is the outermost layer of bark of two different species of oak tree that grow in the Mediterranean and Iberian region. It is harvested when the tree reaches 20 years. The tree then replenishes its cork bark every 9 years after that. The productive life of a cork tree is about 150 years. Cork is a soft, leather-like, sturdy material for handbags. It is stain and water resistant. Clean with a soft damp cloth.
