More about Quirk Collection

The Quirk philosophy is pretty straightforward: create timeless handbags with planet-friendly materials and people-friendly production methods. All Quirk handbags are made from cork, a renewable, vegan leather-like material that is both super durable and lightweight. Our products are ethically made in a small family-owned factory in Portugal and for every bag sold, one tree is planted.
