Italian term

Sugherite

Italian to English Other Textiles / Clothing / Fashion
I'm translating descriptions of accessories for a fashion brand, these will appear on their online shop (this is pretty much all the context I have, save that sometimes an image of the item is provided). I have come across the expression "fondo liscio con lavorazione in sugherite" in the description of a handbag. I imagine "fondo" refers to the inner bottom of the bag, but I'm not sure about "sugherite", has anyone found this term before? Is it just cork or something different? Thank you in advance!

@ Marco Is this not "agglomerated cork" (see my answer).
Marco Solinas Feb 1, 2015:
Cork particleboard Sugherite is a board made by hot-pressing ground up cork (http://www.edilsughero.it/sugherite.html). Think of it as particleboard (or fiberboard) made of cork.

Cork

I have found various websites marketing bags and other products made of "cork":

http://www.vivosano.com/prodotto_calzatura_R.110-93.000_Cork...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Corkor-Shoulder-Handbag-Women-Christ...

I imagine that this could be "agglomerated cork":

but as it does not sound very nice phrased like this, I think that "cork" on its own would be good enough.
