List of products by manufacturer Burel Factory

Based in the Serra di Estrela mountains of Portugal, the Burel Factory is a passion project weaving sustainable, slow-fashion fabrics using the artisan woolcrafts of the past.  

Handmade in a historic factory in the culturally rich region of Manteigas, their exquisite blankets are woven on restored ancestral looms and meticulously finished by hand in keeping with traditional technique.

It all started with the Serra di Estrela mountains, the sheep that graze there, and a traditional wool textile called 'burel' - a warm, waterproof fabric that protected Portugese shepherds from the harsh mountain elements.


While exploring the historic crafts of this Portugese region, Isabel Costa and João Tomás stumbled upon the Lanífícios Império factory. Makers of traditional burel and blankets since 1947, this artisan business was struggling to keep up in a world spinning increasingly fast.


Thanks to Isabel and João, today Lanífícios Império has been reborn as the thriving Burel Factory, a hub of design that weaves tradition with modernity. The ancestral looms have been restored, vintage patterns have been rediscovered, and the ancient art of wool craft is being passed on to the next generation. Uma bela história!
