# Sustainable Cork Clutches These Cork Clutches are Both Eco-Friendly and Beautiful By Maddie Perrault | Published 2020-01-15 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cork-clutches References: [sumsaara](https://www.sumsaara.com/) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native-union-reclassic-case) 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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neo-select). 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.
