Burel

A universe of wool. Incredible.

Burel is an ancient processor of sheep’s wool from the Serra da Estrela, Portugal's most famous mountain region. Apart from replacing steam power, the processing still occurs using 19th-century machinery, with modern equipment also employed depending on the product. The product developers can be unabashedly called innovative, with a vast range from classic wool blankets to wall tapestries. High-quality clothing, bags, shoes, accessories. To understand what is meant by ”preserving intangible heritage in connection with modern values,” a visit to the two stores in Chiado explains it all.
