Key features & specs

How it compares

While many vegan totes rely on PVC or PU, the Classic Cork Tote Bag uses a renewable plant-based fabric that breathes better and lasts longer without peeling. In comparison to canvas totes, Corkor provides a more structured and formal silhouette that holds its shape even when empty.

How to use it

1. Use the interior zip pocket for small valuables like keys and credit cards to keep them accessible.
2. The main compartment is sized specifically to fit standard 13-inch laptops or document folders.
3. Store the bag in its included dust bag when not in use to maintain its shape.
4. Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth if it comes into contact with dirt or sweat.
5. Do not use leather conditioners, as the natural oils in cork are self-preserving.
