Bringing you the latest shawl styling trend with an eco friendly twist. The shawl cuffs shown here can be worn as a bracelet or adorn shawls, wraps, scarves, etc. They are made of cork from a cork oak tree which is sustainable harvested, making them a great leather alternative. Each of my handcrafted cork cuffs has button shaped snaps that can be adjusted to be 3 different sizes. Most small-medium shawls work best when the cuff is on the smallest size. The middle size fits the average wrist. The largest size is for larger shawls.
Wondering how to style a shawl with a cuff? Here are a few inspirational photos for you! If you would like to know more about cork there are a few facts after the photos.

A few fun facts about cork fabric:
The trees are harvested for the first time after about 20 years of growth. After that they can be harvested every 8-10 years for 200 years!
While the tree is growing new bark it absorbs and filters 5 times more CO2 than when the bark is thick. Yeah for saving the environment with fashion!
The cork bark is treated, shaved and adhered to a soft woven backing.
The cork fabric used to make these cuff is: soft, light weight, stain resistant, water resistant, antimicrobial and flame retardant.
