*we use high quality, heavy duty Otter Wax for all our waxed cotton/canvas products: "an all-natural heavy duty fabric wax is made from the highest quality beeswax and proprietary blend of plant-based waxes and oils. The first and only water repellent wax that doesn’t utilize paraffin, silicone, or other petroleum-based synthetic ingredients"
**Cork Leather is harvested from the bark of the Cork Oak (Quercus suber) every 9 years for up to 200 years. Harvesting the bark does not harm the tree and a harvested cork oak absorbs up to ten times more carbon dioxide than an un-harvested cork oak, decreasing greenhouse gases significantly. We use Portuguese cork leather where the planet's largest cork oak woodlands and forests are located. These forests remove tens of millions of tons of greenhouse gases annually, purifying the air and protecting our planet.
Cork leather content - outer: cork - inner: 63% cotton & with 100% cotton backing which is OEKO-TEK certified and completely plastic free!
We also use recycled/reused cork leather on occasion, some of which may have a backing which is a combination of polyester, cotton and polyurethane
