Cork leather is a textile of many advantages and features. That's why it can be made into yoga mat. If you love yoga, I believe you will love this mat made by cork leather and TPE. The thickness can be 2mm to 10MM, depending on your needs. If you already like it, here are the reasons to fall in love with it:
- Eco-Friendly - it is a perfect material for all of those caring about the environment. Since the harvested cork oak trees absorb 3-5 times more carbon dioxide than the unharvested ones
- Natural - It is made from the bark of cork oak that is attached to a backing (cotton, or PU backing)
- Unique - Thanks to its distinctive pattern, you can be sure that no two pieces of cork will be the same. It is an effect impossible to achieve with animal leather which is usually made to look the same - boring!
- Sustainable - The bark of cork oaks rebuilds itself every 9 years which means cork leather is a great example of a sustainable material. Compare that to the animal leather that can be made only after an animal is killed.
- Plant-based - The material comes from the trees so it is a cruelty-free fabric that does not impose any danger to animals.
- Soft - Cork leather, despite coming from a tree, is a very soft material. That's why it can be used in fashion to make cork handbags or other accessories.
- Special Feel - As soon as you feel it, you will understand what we mean. Cork leather has this unique, soft feel that will convert you from other fabric like PVC straight away.
