where we design all of our cork

Page 12

French Quarter Guide

WHAT IS 100% GENUINE CORK FABRIC?

Cork is harvested from
the cork oak tree which is
found mainly in coastal
areas of Portugal and
Spain. The fabric is made
by boiling the bark and
then placing thin slices
onto a cotton polyester
backing. The top of the
cork fabric is sealed with
two layers of waterproong
sealant so that nothing can
penetrate through.
This fabric is upholstery grade material and meant
to be as durable as leather and last for many years.
The additional features of cork are:
Lightweight
Waterproof

Scratch Resistant
Mildew Resistant

Hypoallergenic
Stain Resistant

The fabric is cleaned using a damp sponge and

water and requires no oils or additional treatments.

Information about
NOLA & Louisiana

Antoines, established in 1840, is the oldest continuously

operating restaurant in Louisiana.
The invention of dental floss as we know it goes to a New
Orleans dentist, who in 1815 began advising his patients to
use a thin silk thread to clean between their teeth.
New Orleans is the No. 1 port in trade with Latin America.
Also, much of the world's food, coffee and oil pass through
the Port of New Orleans.
Metairie is home to the longest bridge over water in the
world, the Lake Pontchartrain causeway. The causeway is
24 miles long.
New Orleans was given to the Spanish in 1763 following the
Seven Years War. In 1788, a major fire destroyed 80% of the
city's buildings. The Spanish rebuilt many of the damaged
buildings, which are still standing today. For this reason, the
French Quarter display more Spanish than French influence.
The now-famous Hurricane drink was created at Pat
OBriens Bar in the 1940s.
New Orleans was one of the five major ports of arrival for
immigrants in the 19th and 20th centuries.
For most of the period of 1837 to 1860, New Orleans
attracted more immigrants than any other city in the
country besides New York.
