Story of the piece
Shepherd's Wool Blanket by Ecolã
Warm wool for cold winters, made in cold winters.
The mountains are ancient, the winters long.
We feel it in the fresh, icy air we breathe.
At 2000 metres altitude, the village of Manteigas (Beira Alta, Portugal) is nestled in the Serra da Estrela, inhabited by shepherds and textile artisans since the 12th century.
We visited a small family business that combines old and new techniques in a rare sustainable production process that is as warm and cosy as their 100% wool blankets.
Beige, white or brown, the Bordaleira sheep lend high-quality raw wool and inspire rustic and contemporary patterns for the Manta Pastor. Born and raised here, they accompany and sustain the granitic landscape. They take their walks with slow steps. Like us, on our journey from the boiling kettle to the sofa, on a cold Sunday night, just before we snuggle under the blankets.
