Los Angeles based Artecnica got together with TBWA ad company to repurpose old billboard materials: Artecnica’s Recycled Cork Cases are sustainable cork envelopes lined with recycled billboard material for strength. The cork envelopes can be used as a wallet or clutch or as an actual envelope to store documents or mail correspondence.
The clever Cork Cases are available in three sizes: the large envelope makes a statement and works well as a presentation folder. The medium envelope will hold a standard photographic print or carry a letter nicely. The small lend itself to tidying up a handbag or glove compartment because it can easily hold small receipts.
Pricing ranges from $18-$36.
