Apparel & Fashion - Arnold, Maryland, United States
Treegos is made up of Luis Trigo and his wife, Emily Vargo. They met in 2012 whileEmily was stopping off to get in some quality beach time in Aveiro, Portugal,before starting her Spanish studies in Santiago, Spain. She saw his picture on thepopular travel website, Couchsurfing.org, and decided to reach out. Luis wroteback, and they met for coffee. They fell in love, and the rest is history!Luis moved to the USA in 2013, where he and Emily settled in Annapolis, Maryland.During a trip to Luis' home country of Portugal, Emily and Luis were inspired by allof the cork products they saw in the stores. The cork's beauty, uniqueness,earthiness, and eye-catching, rustic textures made a lasting impression on thecouple. They knew cork would be a huge hit back home in the USA, so they decided to embark on a journey to bring it to the states.Why Cork and Treegos:Cork is the national tree of Portugal, native to the Mediterranean basin. Harvestingcork is a centuries-old tradition, requiring 2 people, carefully carving the cork fromthe tree, taking utmost care so as to not harm the tree. This labor-intensiveprocess cannot be replaced by machines. After harvesting, the tree is left alonefor the next 9 years. The process is the epitome of sustainability. We prideourselves in the fact that we've chosen a material to produce our bow-ties that isrenewable, versatile, eco-conscious, all the while supporting a small business whilekeeping the tradition alive. Ou bow-ties are perfect for not only the veganconsumer but for anyone who wants a beautifully crafted accessory.When you see the Made in Portugal stamp, you are buying a high quality, trulyauthentic product.
