Kavalkade Chaps Cortica Vegane from Cork Black

Vegan, sustainable and unique - "Cortica" calf chaps made of cork

Outside of equestrian sports, cork products have long been a sustainable alternative to leather. In equestrian sports, however, they have not yet been widespread. We would like to change this from now on. As one of the few equestrian companies, we now offer vegan riding accessories made of cork. We want to leave a sustainable footprint and offer vegan horse lovers a great alternative to leather. For almost two years the products were developed and thoroughly tested, changed and adapted over and over again. This resulted in our sustainable and vegan "Cortica" collection, consisting of a bridle, reins, chaps and ankle boots.

The vegan "Cortica" chaps are made of cork on the outside and Amara (synthetic suede) on the inside, which ensures a good grip on the saddle. The textile lining ensures great wearing comfort. Thanks to the elastic inserts, the chaps adapt ideally to your calves and also ensure easy handling when putting on the chaps. The elegant contrasting stripe on the outside is a pretty eye-catcher and can be found on all products from the "Cortica" cork range.

Cork fabric - the vegan leather
Sustainable & vegan
As the bark of the cork oak, cork is a renewable, biodegradable raw material. The cork oak can live for over 300 years and is peeled by hand about every 12 years in the course of its life. This makes the tree more resilient and ensures long-lasting cork oak forests that protect against soil erosion and bind a multiple amount of CO2 compared to other trees. A large part of the cork oak grows in Portugal, where they represent a very important ecosystem for many rare animals.

Durable & unique
Cork fabric, also known as cork leather, is very tear-resistant, hard-wearing and also water-repellent. The cork panels of the bark are connected to larger panels with an organic adhesive and thinly cut. Then they are put together like a puzzle and attached to a fabric carrier material, sealed and can finally be processed further as cork material. Like leather, every cork fabric is very special and unique.

Easy-care
Cork products are only cared for by gently wiping them with a damp cloth or sponge.
