Cork Material

Cork is one of the most eco-friendly materials on our planet! Cork is both renewable and biodegradable. Laflore’s cork leather is made from cork bark, which is sustainable and actually helps the environment instead of harming it. We also believe in vegan, cruelty-free fashion where no animals are harmed to create a purse.

Cork is a very light and solid material. In fact, it is three times lighter than traditional leather. 

Dampen a reusable soft cloth with warm water and a couple drops of saddle soap. Saddle soap is ideal, but any regular soap you have at home will do just fine. Once you have a damp cloth with soap ready, gently scrub your purse in small circles, paying special attention to any areas that are visibly dirty. You can read all about how to clean cork products here: https://www.lafloreparis.com/pages/how-to-clean-a-cork-purse   

All Laflore products are made of waterproof cork material, but too much water will make the cork material unable to absorb the leather cream properly. It’s best to use a conservative amount of water and soap (ideally saddle soap). Make sure to dry your bag with a clean cloth instead of rinsing it, just like you would regular leather. If there is any residual moisture after cleaning, allow your cork purse to completely air dry and don’t place it close to any sources of heat such as hair dryers or electric heaters.  

How will cork age?

Cork will last long and age well if you take care of it properly. However, just like leather, cork changes over time. It is sensitive to UK UV? and will get slightly lighter in color with time. In addition, there may be wear and tear at the corners and in other areas of the item that are used often. All of those signs are natural and can be avoided with proper care.
You can read all about proper cork care in our article here : https://www.lafloreparis.com/pages/how-to-clean-a-cork-purse   

Cork comes from the bark of a tree, the cork-oak. When cork trees are stripped of their bark, they can absorb enormous amounts of carbon dioxide and release even more oxygen. Additionally, this process helps protect the surrounding biodiversity of the forests.

Cork trees live for over 200 years, they are never cut down, and the cork bark regenerates every 9-12 years.

Cork is a very light and solid material. In fact, it is three times lighter than traditional leather. 

toto

Our classic brass clasp makes opening and closing toto very simple.  One click open, one click closed.  toto opens a full 180 degrees so accessing everything you need is quick and easy.

We’ve designed toto for optimum convenience … your laptop slides in and out of toto with ease.

Sustainability means using materials that regenerate, that’s why we chose cork fabric.  Cork trees thrive when their bark (the cork) is harvested thus ensuring their optimum health and preservation.  Our linings are made with 100% recycled cotton and the clasp and hardware are made of brass.

So glad you asked!  The interior of toto:  a generous zippered pocket with four elasticized pouches, 16” padded laptop sleeve and three card slots, two additional pockets for smaller items, three elastic straps to secure pens, lotions, gadgets etc., and two zippered pockets for “right at hand” access. We’ve also incorporated an exterior-access pocket with waterproof lining for unexpected mishaps.

Bonjour!  Sorry, at the moment there are no customization options.

Yes!  toto is super versatile!  You can carry toto like a tote/briefcase, wear it crossbody, on your shoulder or as a backpack.

The empty weight of toto is 2.3 kg

Absolutely!  There’s a padded 16” laptop sleeve to keep your laptop safely tucked away and ready for use.

That is a great question, thanks so much for asking.  The waterproof pocket is meant for damp items and not for anything that is oozing or dripping water or any container that might be leaking.  It’s ideal for damp clothing or handcloths etc.

Hi!  toto is very roomy … 36 cm x 41cm x 25 cm

All our bags are lined with our signature orange, recycled cotton.  The vivid color enhances the beauty of the bag and makes finding all your items easily against the bright background.

Hi!  At the moment we use our exclusive, signature orange cotton to line all our bags.  But who knows?  Maybe in the future we’ll consider the possibility of offering lining options.

Thanks for asking!  Every toto comes with a wide, woven, clip-on crossbody/shoulder strap and clip-on backpack straps.

Glad to hear you’re enjoying your Laflore Paris accessories, thanks for the feedback!  The Jewelry Pouch and Make-up Case fit easily into toto with lots of room to spare.

Sure!  We added the clip-on pouch, with central divider, two zippered pockets, single pouch and card slots, so you’ll have a day-to-evening handbag with you without having to take up space inside your bag.  This way, you can leave toto in your hotel room when traveling or at the office when you head out to lunch or to the powder room.  Save space and look chic … we hope you enjoy this special toto feature.

Thank you, it’s so nice to hear from you.  Every Laflore Paris handbag and accessory is handcrafted by experienced artisans and made with premium cork fabric.  Cork fabric is not only lightweight and waterproof, it’s also very durable.  Strong and dependable, sustainable and enduring … our bags, with proper care, last for many years.

The interior is designed to accommodate all your essentials . . . there are pouches that will easily accommodate your phone and its cables/chargers/earbuds. 

Thanks for asking!  The crossbody/shoulder strap is adjustable from 90 cm to 160 cm.

Bonjour!  The backpack straps are 80 cm and can be adjusted for your comfort.
