What accounts for the cost of CorkStyle products?
CorkStyle products are made of a unique material, cork. Cork comes from bark of trees that grow almost exclusively in one region of the world- the Mediterranean west basin and on the Atlantic coast. CorkStyle bags are carefully constructed of fine quality cork in a factory in Portugal. The cork industry is regulated by the Government of Portugal, to ensure that the best care and ethics are applied in harvesting. The products are constructed by fairly paid professional workers. They’d be less expensive if we had them produced in China or Vietnam. The price of the products is tied to the value of the EURO, the European currency.
