Cork Fabric
The production of cork fabric consists of adhering thin slices of natural cork to a textile base.
Through sophisticated techniques the raw material is transformed into a fabric that is soft as velvet,
resistant to stains and scratches, water proof, dust and mite repellent. For this reasons it is particularly
suitable in the production of shoes and bags and the most important fashion brands are using cork fabric in their collections of accessories.
The cork fabric can be used for the same applications as leather with one fundamental difference : it is a vegetable leather and so ecologic!
In 2004 our company first introduced the cork fabric in world of upholstery and during Decosit exhibition in Bruxelles, Villani Leonello got the Decotec award due to the achievement
of a perfect harmony of natural product and technology.
Cork fabric is made of laminated natural cork coupled on textile. This laminated cork may be coupled on several types of textile supports depending on the final usage, such as :
- PU coagulated lining for footwear, leather good, bookbinding and upholstery
- Cotton fabric for garment
- Nylon fabric for accessories like umbrella and raincoats
And many more….
