Add rich tactile dimension and modern artisan texture to your bag-making projects with the Lite Denim Backed Palms Cork Fabric by Sallie Tomato. This unique specialty textile features laser-cut geometric palm fronds and lattice diamond cutouts on natural cork veneer, beautifully revealing a soft, woven light denim blue backing fabric underneath.
Sallie Tomato denim-backed cork combines the natural beauty of sustainable cork wood with the casual texture and stability of woven denim. Soft, flexible, and pliable, it offers a luxurious vegan leather alternative that cuts cleanly without fraying and sews smoothly on standard home sewing machines.
