What makes this a Keeper
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 with wool-safe detergent. Treat stains before washing. Don’t wring. Air dry flat, inside out, away from direct sun. Steam wrinkles gently, 1-2 inches from the fabric. Air out between wears, wool’s antibacterial properties often eliminate the need for washing. Store folded flat in a cool, dry place. Avoid hanging. Ensure pieces are clean and dry before long-term storage to deter moths.
