About the Maker

Their Story

In Manteigas, Portugal, Isabel Dias da Costa and João Tomás rescued a failing wool factory, preserved 19th and 20th century machines and master weavers whose knowledge couldn't be found in any manual. They introduced vibrant colors to burel, a traditional water-resistant wool fabric once worn only by shepherds, keeping it alive through slow, handcrafted production. What they're doing isn't just business; it's recovering heritage one thread at a time.

Care Instructions

Hand wash in cold water or at a maximum of 30ºC with wool-safe detergent; do not use bleach. Treat stains before washing. Air dry away from direct sunlight. Gently steam out wrinkles; maximum iron temperature 150ºC. Air out regularly – wool’s natural antibacterial properties often reduce the need for washing. Ensure the piece is clean and dry before long-term storage to deter moths.
