The perfect size card wallet for carrying a stack of cards, a wad of cash and even some loose change. The cork card wallet holds everything secure with a solid brass snap and rivets. Use it to carry other small items and slip it in your pocket or bag. I use the highest grade of dual layer cork from a completely sustainable source.
For more information specific to the cork material please see the ‘Cork Info’ tab.
SIZE:
The Cork Card Wallet measures 4.25 inches wide x 2.5 inches tall x 0.75 inches deep on the exterior (108mm x 64mm x 19mm). It should be able to hold around 20 cards, a wad of cash and some loose change.
Cork is a very unique material. It is very durable, flexible, soft and pleasing to the eye. It’s the closest material I have come across that mimics many aspects of leather, however it is not leather and a few differences are worth noting to my fellow customers.
Cork is harvested from the exterior of cork trees in very small, thin sheets by hand, once every 10 years. The tree itself is not cut down, it goes on living an average of 250 years. This cork is then carefully layered onto a non-woven, coated, polyester fabric for enhanced durability. The higher end cork fabric, such as that used in my shop has wider sheets about the width of a hand placed onto the fabric in a simple puzzle pattern. Due to this technique, all items in the shop will have sections where two, three, or more sheets come together at seams.
Cork is a natural product and has many natural visible features such as holes, cracks, markings and alternately changing color tones. Natural holes in the cork are filled in with the resin backing that secures the cork to the fabric. Cork is flexible, however it tends to display micro-cracks along any edge that is folded tightly. The items made in our shop will display this feature and it is not considered a defect, rather it is part of the effect of working the cork into a desired shape.
Due to the unique properties of cork, products made with this material will not come with the unique number stamping as seen on the leather goods. Also we are unable to personalize cork products with names or initials.
All cork products sold in my shop come with a 1 year warranty for defects in material and craftsmanship occurring under normal use circumstances. All defects typically present themselves during the first week of use. We do not cover wear and tear, washing, or any improper use or strain on the item.
