SLP - Poncho 'Manteigas’, 100% sheepwool in grey melee, natural white and red^Sale

This poncho's made from 100% wool, sheared from Bordaleira sheep that roam the rugged Serra da Estrela National Park. Local shepherds hand-shave them when the heat kicks in, turning the short wool into fleece, then yarn. It’s woven on century-old machines in a factory that creaks with history. The finishing touch? Hand-knotted fringes made by women in the valley. It’s 180cm by 160cm, and carries the spirit of the mountains in every thread.

Description

This poncho is crafted from 100% natural sheep's wool, sourced from sheep that graze in the Serra da Estrela, one of Europe's most stunning national parks.

These sheeps, a breed known as Bordaleira, are hand-shorn by local shepherds, ensuring their comfort as temperatures rise in the park. Bordaleira sheep produce short wool, which is transformed into a fleece. The fleece is spun into yarn, and in a traditional factory, the poncho is woven on looms that are over 150 years old, each with its own unique character.

Measuring 180x160cm, the poncho is finished with hand-made fringes, crafted by local women in the valley.
