Our Story

Let’s face it: Cork is Cool. That’s why we created the Corkology™ line.
We have been manufacturing since 1947 (3rd generation) and have been working with cork for nearly 50 years.
We’ve taken the great eco-properties that cork inherently offers and applied elegant and clean design principles to make it shine.
Consumers are now looking for affordable “sustainable” accessories that are made in the USA.  That is us.

Everything we design and supply we make just outside Chicago, Ill.  Being sustainable does not have to equal being expensive.  It is our philosophy that the more reasonable the price, the more people will become sustainable.
I hope you enjoy our designs and join us in the most important movement on the earth. Sustainability.

THE CORK STORY

Cork trees are harvested every nine years by carefully peeling the outer bark from the tree. The bark regenerates to produce hundreds of pounds of cork throughout the tree’s 150-year lifecycle

IT’S SUSTAINABLE.

IT’S PLENTIFUL.

There’s enough cork in Portugal alone to meet global demand for centuries to come. Countries in the Mediterranean, Asia, and North Africa are also cultivating cork.

IT’S RECYCLABLE & BIODEGRADABLE.

Cork products are 100% recyclable and completely biodegradable, so it reduces waste in landfills.

IT’S SUPPORTIVE.

Cork forests support entire ecosystems around the globe that are home to many endangered species and offer jobs for local workers. In Portugal alone, cork forests employ more than 100,000 people.
