Captain Cork

Wel­co­me aboard Cap­tain Cork. This ​“corky” shop in Ant­werp was desig­ned by foun­der Ina De Quint to emu­la­te a ship cabin. The woo­den fea­tu­res act as the per­fect back­ground for all of the cork acces­so­ries dot­ted about. In addi­tion to hand­bags, sus­tai­na­ble mouth masks and back­packs, the sto­re also has a ran­ge of home decor and trin­kets all made from cork obviously. Cork is the most eco-friendly alter­na­ti­ve to leather so by buying a new cork bag, you’re actually hel­ping the pla­net! How awe­so­me is that?

Ina wants to give her cus­to­mers the ulti­ma­te shop­ping expe­rien­ce whilst shi­ning a light on her father who ins­pi­red the who­le ven­tu­re. The shop has many fea­tu­res and memo­ra­bi­lia from her father’s days as a captain…spot the lad­der and woo­den barrel! All of the­se earthy mate­rials com­bi­ned with the cosy ligh­ting she has ins­ta­lled lends itself to the per­fect sus­tai­na­ble shop­ping experience.
