Maker & artist

A sewing machine at five, and cork ever since.

“I first sat down at a sewing machine at age five, secretly mimicking projects my mother had completed. I was immediately captivated. The process of transforming fabric and thread into something completely new has been my creative passion ever since.”

The purses, bags and clutches are original designs, made without commercial patterns. “More recently I discovered cork fabric. It is a great eco-friendly material and I love working with it.”

Materials

Why cork.

Cork comes directly from the bark of the cork oak tree, Quercus suber. The tree is unharmed when the bark is harvested, and it regrows.

  • Harvested only once the tree is 25–30 years old
  • Not harvested again for nine to twelve years
  • Boiled soft in water — no harsh chemicals like leather
