The passion for cork inspired the creation of ARTELUSA, an exclusive brand of ITALTEMPO, a company founded in 1998 and dedicated to the research, production and marketing of gifts and merchandising for museums and prestigious corporate clients.

At ARTELUSA, we transform high-quality Portuguese cork into handcrafted fashion pieces, office accessories and decorative items. 100% natural, recyclable, biodegradable and durable, cork is an extraordinary raw material whose beauty and versatility inspire every one of our creations. By combining the distinctive qualities of this noble material with the creativity and expertise of our talented designers and artisans, we create unique pieces that continue to captivate customers in Portugal and around the world.

We work with cork in its many different forms, from sophisticated thin cork sheets, delicate and paper-like, to the soft, flexible layers used in wallets and hats, each carefully handcrafted to create unique pieces that preserve the rustic texture and original character of cork oak bark.

Natural variations in colour and texture are part of the identity of every creation. It is precisely these differences that make each piece truly unique and exclusive.
