Burel Coat, Pink Cape, Wool Coat, 100% Wool, Traditional Portuguese Coat, Brown Pink Cape

This is my women's cape model, inspired by the traditional Alentejo cape, all in a combination of pink and brown.

The Alentejo cape has its origins in the shepherds' attire of the Alto Alentejo. It's a long, sleeveless garment with a surcoat that falls to chest height and may have a collar, usually made of fox fur; in our case, we use faux fur.
Ideal for cold days, this material is very warm and comfortable.

Made from Light Pink Burel with a herringbone effect, it is 100% wool.
Combined with floral cotton fabric lining for greater originality and comfort.
The collar is made of brown synthetic fur.
With side pockets and reinforced seams with two stitches.
The cape has lace appliqués in brown and white tones at the ends.
Buttons with brown buttons.

The piece in the photo is size M

🔹 A NOTE ABOUT THE FABRIC USED TO MAKE THIS OVERCOAT - BUREL:

"In the heart of the mountain range lies the town of Manteigas, endowed with immense natural beauty, where at 2000 meters above sea level you can breathe the air of the highest point in mainland Portugal and where Burel comes from.

Burel is a Portuguese handmade fabric, originally from the mountains, made entirely from wool.
After being carded and spun, the wool is transformed into roving. The roving is twisted in the spinning mill and transformed into yarn. This yarn passes through the warp, creating the warp. The loom transforms the warp into sherpa. The sherpa passes through the batano and other processes and finally becomes burel.

Burel is a very resistant and versatile fabric that, from capes and coats for rainy, snowy and cold days in the mountains, has evolved into countless ideas and design solutions, accompanied by a vast range of textures, patterns and colors."

Properties and characteristics of Burel
It is a fabric:
• 100% wool
• felted
• fire resistant
• with a high degree of impermeability

Burel Maintenance:
Burel is an easy-care fabric. The fiber structure repels dirt, and in the event of a spill, it can be cleaned and dried in due time. Taking rugs as an example, regular vacuuming is all that's needed to clean and maintain a rug looking new. It can be machine-washed on the wool cycle, with the recommended temperature being 40°C. Steam ironing on the wool cycle is recommended.
