Obviously cork is a renewable product, but I’ve not seen many items made from it. All these items are very attractive and I’d love have the opportunity to show others how lovely cork products can be. I’d choose a Carta Glass Case and a Chain Bracelet.
One thing I know I would get is the ring they sell. I want to win because I have always loved cork and just find this site and the uses they have come up with amazing.
Fanned you on FB under Tofu Fairy.
LOVE the PLC-Coin Case and would get that. I love that this is all eco-friendly and like nothing I have ever seen or heard of.
I’d like to win because I think this is a great ecofriendly product. I’d pick either the umbrella or the wallet
I like the fiesta collection of products.
I’d like to win because these look like really unique products that not too many other people would have. I like the lady’s hair spring and the umbrella. Very neat.
I would get the medium make up bag. I like their cool ring the most.
I get your feed.

I’d like the chain bracelet.
PS Messenger Pochette.. thank you!
