Product Description

The Men’s Cork SilmFold Wallet is a really neat design with enough space for your cards, a photo window and clever back section to keep cash accessible. It is made from Portuguese cork which is fantastically durable, but still silky soft to touch. This is an excellent alternative to leather, sourced from a renewable, sustainable and environmentally friendly material. It has 3 card slots, a photo window and neat cash compartments. The EMC logo is discretely engraved in the inside cover. The wallet contains no animal products at all. Cork is a brilliant material. It is soft to touch, complex and rich aesthetically, as strong a high quality leather, and fantastically sustainable as well, making it a perfect alternative to leather to make wallets or purses from.

Our range of wallets are all handmade and use Portuguese cork. The softness of cork can’t be overstated – there’s a silky feel about them as you would expect from a high class piece of leather. That natural softness is matched by a real durability and strength, and rich texture from the cork oak bark, making each wallet completely unique. Being able to offer wallets made from an alternative to leather is fantastic – these wallets don’t contain any animal derivatives, and furthermore we are really excited about the sustainability of cork.

Unlike your money, cork really does grow on trees and is renewable. Cork Oak trees are harvested for their cork, then left in for nine years while the cork regrows. Cork Oaks can be harvested approximately 15 times during their lifetime. After harvesting, the bark is left then treated with boiling. Once dry, thin strips of cork are shaved off placed on a fabric backing to create a mosaic patchwork. These sheets are mounted and used to create these wallets, and contribute to the unique grain pattern on each item.
