Cork leather is a natural material, therefore, direct sunlight and rain may accelerate natural lightening. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight.
Piñatex®
GENERAL
Piñatex® is an innovative natural textile made from pineapple leaf fibre.
Pineapple plant long fibres are extracted through a process called decortication, which is done at the plantation by the farming community in Philippines. Once the leaves have been stripped of fibre the leftover biomass can be used as a nutrient-rich natural fertiliser or a biofuel, so nothing is wasted. The fibres then get degummed and undergo an industrial process to become a non-woven mesh, which forms the base of Piñatex®. The rolls of non-woven mesh are then transported to Spain for specialised finishing.
CHARACTERISTICS
Piñatex® has a leather-like appearance that is soft, durable and water-resistant.
CARE
-Clean your product thoroughly using a cloth soaked in warm soapy water ( never fully submerge the product as this will cause irreversible damage).
-Let your item dry before any application is made
-We reccomend using a natural colorless wax for your Pinatex products. Apply a small amount to a dry, soft cloth and rub sparingly over the textile. Leave your item to dry naturally for 24h after application.
-You can also buff the wax off with a dry cloth.
