Cork Accessories for Your Holiday Wardrobe

It feels great to have a wardrobe full of holiday essentials that are made of vegan and eco-friendly material such as cork leather, which is not only versatile but also elegant. With its one-of-a-kind look and feel, cork fashion accessories will be the perfect complement to your sustainable holiday party outfit. Here are a few items to treat yourself with that will give your holiday wardrobe a special twist:

  • Cork shoes

Whether you're hosting a lavish get-together for friends or keeping it casual with family this holiday season, there's a cork shoe for you. Though cork is widely used for insoles, it can be harder to find shoes that highlight cork's distinctive look.

If a statement cork shoe is what you're looking for - check out nae vegan shoes. Their Lina cork shoe comes in a variety of heel heights and features a natural cork and cotton upper with a beautiful embroidered rose design. 

Sneakers more your speed? Try the Sunflower cork sneaker from South African company Reefer Shoes, in partnership with DKMS (formerly, the Sunflower Fund). Not only will you be supporting a sustainability-focused brand, a portion of your purchase will go toward the life-saving work of finding donors for people suffering from rare blood disorders.

  • Convertible cork handbags and more

Laflore Paris handbags are the perfect accessory for any holiday occasion. The bobobark is a travel-friendly convertible backpack purse that can be worn as a shoulder bag, as a backpack, or as a briefcase. Taking a bag with so much versatility on your holiday travels means being able to pack lighter, but still look fantastic regardless of your destination. With bobobark, you’ll have a backpack for the journey, a shoulder bag while shopping so you can carry your gift haul, and a handbag that will go with any chic party look. You can simply clip and unclip the straps for a new style, anytime, anywhere.

For anyone sticking close to home this season, the bebebark is the ideal cork handbag accessory for elegant winter style. Now available in three colors, we’ve got the perfect shade to match any look. With its functionality and hyper organization, the bebebark can easily hold all of your essentials for a night out, even if you have to go straight from the office to a holiday affair. Or, if you want something smaller, the elegant evening clutch is the perfect stylish accessory to complement your favorite outfit. Be sure to add the gorgeous brass chain strap for an extra special look.

Just in time for the holidays, we’ve recently launched a brand new cork accessories bundle that includes our popular clutch wallet, makeup case, coin pouch, glasses case, and chain strap (plus a 15% discount). For every Laflore Paris product you purchase, you can be sure you’re making an ethical choice. All of our bags and accessories are designed in Paris and made from cork material sustainably sourced in Portugal.

Accessorize Your Holiday Table With Cork Products

Natural cork accessories can be a pleasant addition to your holiday table and an unexpected conversation piece. Cork material is strong and has low thermal conductivity, so it is able to resist a wide range of temperatures. These features allow cork to be used for a variety of accessories and housewares. Here are some cork accessories to consider for spruce up your holiday home: 

  • Cork ice bucket

Looking for a show-stopping, head-turning centerpiece for your dinner table? Check out this larger-than-life cork ice bucket from Great Big Stuff. Shaped like a giant champagne cork, complete with muselet stand and gold lid, this quirky cork accessory will keep your celebratory bottle chilled and ready to go all night long. 
  • Cork serving trays

During the holidays, we all gather around the family table for great food and conversation. But if you’re looking for something to get that conversation started, grab a few of these laser-engraved cork serving trays with popular holiday-related sayings that will be sure to get your guests talking - and asking where they can get some of their own. Cork trivets - Heat-resistant trivets are a must-have for any family style dinner, and cork makes the perfect material for a trivet that looks great even before the food is served. A 6-pack of IKEA trivets will only set you back $13, and if you have a Cricut, Silhouette, or something similar plus a small jar of paint, it’s easy to customize your cork trivets to match any holiday theme. 
  • Cork glasses

For a special surprise, serve after-dinner coffee (or something stronger) in these customizable cork coffee mugs that will double as a take-home gift for your guests. Cork provides excellent insulation for hot or cold beverages and works as a coaster!

Gifts for Artists
