These compact zip pouches are perfect for safely storing your essential notions, tiny tools, or small crafting bits. Each pouch is handmade by Portuguese artisans using high-quality local cork fabric, carefully dyed with natural vegetable dyes to create soft, beautiful pastel tones. Though lightweight and soft to the touch, cork is surprisingly durable—comparable to leather—while also being water-resistant, easy to clean, and ideal for everyday use. Cork is also a sustainable and cruelty-free material. Harvested from cork oak trees, the bark is only removed every nine years by law, allowing the tree to regenerate naturally. During this time, each tree can absorb up to five times more CO₂, making cork production environmentally beneficial as well as beautiful. As a natural material, each pouch will have slight variations in texture and pattern, ensuring every piece is subtly unique. Dimensions: 19cm × 14cm × 6cm (7 1/2" × 5 1/2" × 2 1/2") Cork is naturally water-resistant and easy to maintain—simply wipe clean with a damp cloth and allow to dry.
