At DM Ties, we have recently made (by hand!) – and put online – two innovative products.
In the age of sustainability, fashion is evolving to embrace eco-friendly materials that not only respect the environment, but also add a unique touch to our style. Among these, cork emerges as one of the most fascinating protagonists.
You are warned… stuff for true dandies!
The new DM Ties cork products: concept
Known for its extraordinary natural qualities, it has found a new life in the fashion world, becoming a leading material for eco-conscious designers.
Traditionally used for corks and insulation, cork comes from the bark of the cork oak, a plant that grows mainly in Portugal.
This material is lightweight, waterproof, fireproof, resilient and strong, making it incredibly versatile and durable.
But what makes it truly special is its sustainability: harvesting the bark does not harm the tree, allowing it to regenerate every nine years, a process that also contributes to CO2 absorption.
From this concept came the new DM Ties cork bow ties and suspenders.
Cork…and Fashion
In the fashion industry, cork has gained popularity for its unique texture and environmentally friendly properties.
Innovative designers use it to create high-fashion accessories, bags, shoes, and even garments.
Its natural, pleasant-to-touch surface lends a rustic yet sophisticated aesthetic. In addition, cork is easily combined with other materials, such as organic cotton and linen, allowing for a wide range of creative applications.
Cork items are not only beautiful to look at, but also offer exceptional functionality. They are water-resistant, making them ideal for accessories such as wallets and bags. The material’s flexibility allows great design freedom, offering innovative shapes and structures.
In addition, cork is naturally antimicrobial and hypoallergenic, making it suitable for those with skin sensitivities.
In conclusion, cork represents a perfect blend of aesthetics, functionality and sustainability.
Its use in fashion not only meets an increasingly ecologically conscious market need, but also celebrates a tradition of craftsmanship that looks to the future with optimism and creativity.
