How to Care for Your Cork Bag — The Easiest Handbag You’ll Ever Own

How to clean genuine cork purse

Cork looks luxurious, but the care routine is surprisingly low-maintenance — which is probably why so many people fall in love with it. If you can wipe down a kitchen counter, congratulations… you’re already a cork-care expert.

Here’s how simple it is:

Cleaning

  • Use a mild soap and warm water

  • Wipe gently with a soft cloth

  • Air dry (cork dries quickly)

Stain Resistance

Cork naturally repels moisture, so spills don’t sink in. Even makeup, sunscreen, or everyday dirt wipes away easily.

Storage

  • Keep your bag in a cool place

  • Avoid sharp objects

  • Stuff lightly when storing to maintain shape

Longevity

Cork doesn’t peel, crack, or stretch out like leather or faux leather. With everyday care, your bag can look new for years — even if you’re tough on your purses.

Cork bags are strong, stylish, eco-friendly, and unbelievably easy to care for. What’s not to love?
