The First Chapter of a New Story.
The new Woolclopedia collection is the beginning of a new stage for Burel Factory. It presents meaningful clothes made to last, embodying the Portuguese mountain heritage and secular textile knowledge. Evidence of the process and craftsmanship, to make it more meaningful, more traditional, more authentic. A rapprochement with our origins and the deep knowledge we preserve, from our hands to yours. Promoting knowledge, valuing wool — the first step in a new story.
Timeless. Made to last.
Timeless, Seasonless. A set of pieces made to last, inspired by the textile archive and manual processes in our factory. The production standards of the fabrics used were challenged and relevated, with the development of new weights of burel, that originated this collection to be worn all year round.
The Art made by several Hands.
The Legacy of the Mountain.
Burel Factory's mission is deeply rooted in the recovery and amplification of ancestral processes, to pass on the legacy and knowledge of Portuguese textile production, perpetuate heritage through the preservation, regeneration and innovation of processes, and contribute to the promotion of the Serra da Estrela region and its people.
Burel Factory
We elevate wool to art, burel to culture and Serra da Estrela to a destination.
