Cork is naturally lightweight, comfortable to wear and full of character. With a little everyday care, your bracelet can keep looking its best for years to come.
Because every piece of Portuguese cork has its own natural grain and markings, gentle care helps preserve the distinctive finish that makes each bracelet unique.
Everyday Care
- Wear your bracelet as normal for everyday activities.
- Store it somewhere dry when you're not wearing it.
- Avoid crushing or sharply bending the cork.
- Keep it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach or solvents.
Can a Cork Bracelet Get Wet?
A little moisture isn't usually a problem, but we recommend removing your bracelet before showering, swimming or soaking it in water.
Repeated or prolonged exposure to water can shorten the life of the cork and the clasp, so it's best to keep it dry whenever possible.
How to Clean Your Bracelet
If your bracelet needs cleaning:
- Wipe it gently with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
- Allow it to air dry naturally.
- Avoid soaking it or using abrasive cleaners.
There's no need for special treatments or polishes—gentle cleaning is usually all that's needed.
Looking After the Clasp
To help keep the clasp looking its best:
- Keep it dry where possible.
- Wipe away moisture after wearing in wet conditions.
- Avoid unnecessary knocks against hard surfaces.
A Material Full of Character
One of the things we love about Portuguese cork is that no two bracelets are exactly alike. Small variations in colour, grain and texture are part of the material's natural character rather than imperfections.
With simple care, your bracelet should remain comfortable to wear and continue developing its own unique story over time.
