Burel from Serra da Estrela

Light Mottled Burel Coat

Under good burel, no rain reaches the skin.

Story of the piece

Light Mottled Burel Coat

As those who know it say: "Under good burel, no rain reaches the skin."

This coat is born of burel. The pressed, 100% biodegradable wool that comes from the Serra da Estrela, protecting against wind and rain. Wool that, in the As Capuchinhas workshop, is transformed by hand, by those who have learned over time to weave pieces that endure.

In the coat's details lies what makes it rare: collar, cuffs and pocket trims in knitted mesh, dyed black and naturally dyed with walnut leaf. A balanced contrast in a piece that is robust and rustic, yet comfortable.

In Campo Benfeito, in the Serra de Montemuro, time follows the rhythm of As Capuchinhas' looms. With contemporary design signed by Paula Caria.
