The Artist's Process

My bags are made of a combination of silk fusion, cork leather, and lined with all-natural cotton or silk. I have begun adding a vast variety of machine embroidery patterns. I use all kinds of different materials in my jewelry including felted wool, machine embroidery, and Swarovski crystals, to name a few.
​Below you can see some photos of the process!

About the Cork Leather used in my designs

 ​​Cork leather is what the majority of the body of my bags are made of. Cork is an all-natural, sustainable fibre, that wears like leather. I source my cork fabric from B.C. business owner MM Cork Supply, who imports it directly from Portugal.

From her website: "Cork is an eco-friendly alternative to leather that is natural, sustainable, vegan, and PETA certified. The cork bark is peeled from the tree by skilled labourers without harming the tree. The same tree can be harvested every 9 years for up to 300! Cork leather is as strong as its animal counterpart, water-resistant, and has naturally occurring antibacterial & antimildew properties. The cork I carry has been treated to be stain-resistant (Scotch Guard) and has had a UV treatment and an abrasion treatment. They have been tested in external labs for abrasion (Martindale test), UV resistance, Vamp Flex, and Ignition (fire) The dye does not run when wet, and it can easily be cleaned with soap and warm water. Do not iron the cork."

​Below, you can see some examples of the colors available in cork! To see more, visit MM Cork Supply - I will happily special order small lots of whatever cork you would like and design a bag around it.
