CoolCorc's heritage collection

You could already find a beautiful work by Jessica from CoolCorc on this inspiration board, but she has so much more to offer!
She would love to tell something more about her amazing one-of-a-kind wallet from her heritage collection.

What is it? – Does your product have a name?

These are one-of-a-kind wallets from our Heritage Collection.

What are the materials that you used to create this? – Where did you found it?

I have utilized a men’s dress shirt for the interior of each of the wallets shown. This upcycled interior complements the eco-friendliness of cork fabric while also remaining stylish.

When the sunny days come, I've to stay inside

Here we go again! Another exam period...
I cannot say that i'm very enthusiastic about it, because i'm totally not..
For me these exams will be a hard time. Harder than ever.. because i've decided that this year is going to be my last year in school if my results aren't that great. I'm not giving up, i'm just being fair with myself. I'm studying long enough now and i get the feeling that i want to do something else with my life than sitting on those chairs listening to professors.. Aaah anyway i'm going for it, because this study really makes me happy!! I'm very intrested in it and i would love to have a job in tourism once i'm ready for the big world out there.

CoolCorC is a family owned company that is headed by a husband and wife team, Josh and Jess, who are also architects. Based in Tennessee, Josh and Jess design a variety of stylish and useful products out of cork fabric. Cork is the bark of the cork oak tree and is harvested by being peeled from the tree – it regenerates within 7 to 9 years. This cyclical harvesting provides protection for the cork forests and the livelihoods for tens of thousands of families throughout the Mediterranean and China. All of their accessories in their Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/coolcorc) are made by Jess in Knoxville, Tennessee USA. More of their designs are available online at their website: www.coolcorc.com
