Wear a tree on your waist every day thanks to Cliff’s line of cork belts. A more sustainable alternative to leather, cork comes from the outer back of the cork tree. Every nine years or less cork is harvested by hand without harming or killing the actual tree. Cliff’s durability comes from laminating layers of cork to fabric. Overtime cork wears beautifully, without the distressing that occurs in leather. The belt can even be machined washed in cold water. Still concerned with the durability properties of the material? Cork has been used as flooring for centuries in high traffic buildings including banks and the lobbies of iconic government structures. All of Cliff’s accessories are handmade and individually hand crafted.
