Handcrafted Cork Bags – Sustainable, Stylish, and Made to Last

Hello, I'm Samantha Cobos

*That's me with a cork tree!

I’m an artist and small business owner, and for over 10 years, I’ve been handcrafting unique, eco-friendly bags with care and passion. At nest PURE, I create stylish, durable handbags and accessories using natural, sustainable materials like cork—a beautiful and eco-conscious alternative to leather.

Sustainability is a passion of mine!

I fell in love with cork for its natural beauty, soft texture, and incredible longevity. Over the years, I’ve also explored other sustainable materials, including cactus leather and organic fabrics, to continue innovating and offering eco-friendly options that are as functional as they are stylish. These materials aren’t just better for the planet; they’re also lightweight, water-resistant, and made to last.

The bark naturally regenerates, making it one of the most renewable materials on the planet.✔ Durable & Long-Lasting – Naturally resistant to wear and tear, cork maintains its beauty and strength over time, ensuring your bag stays stylish for years.✔ Lightweight & Water-Resistant – Unlike leather, cork is incredibly light, making it comfortable to carry all day. It’s also naturally water-resistant, protecting your belongings from spills and weather.✔ Soft, Smooth & Unique – Every piece of cork has a one-of-a-kind grain, just like leather, but with a softer, more velvety feel. No two bags are exactly alike!✔ Vegan & Cruelty-Free – No animal products are used, making cork a perfect alternative for those looking for ethical, plant-based fashion.
