A vegan cork wallet is the most sustainable and durable alternative to leather wallets available in India. Cork is harvested from the bark of cork oak trees without cutting them down — the tree regenerates its bark every 9 years, making cork one of the most renewable materials on earth. Cork wallets are naturally waterproof, lightweight, scratch-resistant and develop a beautiful patina with age. Clan Earth makes India's best cork wallets — available in bifold, zip and card holder styles, starting from ₹850 at EarthBased.

How to Care for a Cork Wallet
- Wipe clean with a slightly damp cloth — cork is naturally waterproof so stains don’t absorb easily
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight which can dry out the cork
- Do not use leather conditioners or chemical cleaners on cork
- Store in a cool, dry place
- Cork develops a natural patina over time that makes it look better with age
