This cork fabric is being sold at a clearance price due to a known material defect. The cork surface may crack or split when bent, folded, or used on corners, straps, or high-stress areas.

Because of this issue, this material is only recommended for flat applications such as panels or decorative elements where the fabric will not be heavily manipulated.

Important:

  • This item is discounted 50% due to defects.

  • Cracking may occur during normal use or construction.

  • Not recommended for straps, corners, or areas requiring turning or heavy bending.

  • All sales are final – this product is sold AS IS and is not eligible for returns, refunds, or exchanges.

By purchasing this clearance item, you acknowledge the material defect described above.

Our premium cork fabric is carefully renowned for its softness, durability, and consistent quality so it sews beautifully on both domestic and industrial machines. Unlike lower-grade corks that can crack, flake, or feel stiff, ours is smooth, pliable, and designed specifically for bag making and detailed sewing projects.

Our high-quality cork fabric consists of a thin layer of 100% natural cork bonded to a high-quality textile backing for strength and stability. The result is a material that feels luxurious like leather, but is lightweight, flexible, and much easier to sew.

Printed cork designs are limited edition and exclusive runs, meaning once they sell out, they will not be restocked. This makes each project feel truly unique and collectible.

Perfect for:

Ideal for handbags, wallets, straps, handles, home décor, appliqué, embroidery accents, and statement pieces that need both structure and style.

Details:

  • Thickness:  0.8 mm
  • Width: At least 25” wide by length of fabric purchased
  • Backing: 50% Nylon, 50% PU
  • Print Direction: The ruler shown in the image is placed parallel to the fabric selvage and indicates the direction of the print.

Matching Thread:

For the best finish, we recommend Sulky 40 wt Poly Deco Thread. It provides strength for construction and a polished look for topstitching. Thread #1005 is a coordinating match for this fabric.
