When you buy a bag, whats the first thing you think of? For me, its 'what will I wear this bag with?' And mentally I start thinking of the outfits I have that the bag will go well with. When it comes to a cork leather bag, its no different.
Using eco-friendly dyes, cork leather can be coloured in any and every shade possible. At House of Ethics, we like neutral colours like brown, navy, black and grey. And of course, we are big fans of cork's original colour itself which is a natural beige shade.
We all play different roles in life. On a single day, we can transition from a mum with two kids on a school run to a working mum on a commute into the city, to a late afternoon shopping trip on the high street to date night with your partner on a Thursday night because thats the only time when the babysitter can make it! Not only do you need to dress the part, but you need the right accessories to go with your outfit.
So we've compiled a short list of the types of bags that go well with all the hats you wear :)
1. The Everyday Tote
This is your on-the-go bag whether you're dropping the kids to school or picking up your weekly shop, the everyday tote is extremely light but also quite spacious. So it'll fit pretty much all your essentials plus more.
2. The Office Bag
This bag is ideal for taking it to work. Its very durable as well as compact and goes very well with all kinds of office wear and formal footwear. Best of all, its a great conversation starter at work too, especially if you are championing environmental causes at work or if you've recently started a vegan diet!
3. The Travel Bag
This duffel shaped cork leather bag is the perfect travel bag as its extremely light as well as spacious. With its multiple strap legths, you can carry it in your hand or over your shoulder. And it can hold everything from your camera to your kindle to all your essentials. Tried and tested. Best thing about it? It goes so well with all your other luggage!
4. The City Bag
This crossbody bag goes with every thing all year round! With its multiple zips and adjustable straps, you can walk all day in the city with all your items secured and not get tired either from carrying a heavy bag on your arm all day. As you can tell, we really like pairing it with a leather jacket - they look like a match made in fashion heaven!

When you think of the accessories for your evening outfit, you want a little bit of glamour and class. This gorgeous cork leather bag in a floral pattern with its magnetic clasp and beautiful silver chain gives you just that. Best part is that its stain and scratch-resistant, so if you knock it over or spill something over, you can just wipe it clean with a damp cloth and carry on with your plans!
