The makers at Sumsaara believe each product should adhere to the Sumsaara philosophy, which means "the never-ending cycle of birth, life, death, and re-birth." As such, Sumsaara creates its cork clutches with three criteria in mind: beauty, functionality, and environmental impact. Sumsaara's cork clutches create a balance between a natural-looking exterior and vibrant interior pouch, which comes in deep red, bright turquoise and bold, eye-catching prints.
The cork clutches are also functional. Designed large enough to hold smartphones and including card-wallets to hold essentials, these cork clutches have the basics of an evening-out covered. Most importantly, these cork clutches are made for the environmentally conscious consumer. They are made from the bark of a cork oak tree, which benefits from having its bark stripped and is an entirely sustainable natural resource. This process contributes to an increase in CO2 absorption.
