The brand continues to reimagine tradition for contemporary use, maintaining a strong connection to place and process. Burel Factory is a Portuguese brand rooted in the Serra da Estrela mountains, devoted to preserving and regenerating Portugal’s rich wool industry and its cultural heritage. Born from the legacy of ancestral knowledge, the brand combines tradition with innovation, weaving threads of the past into a sustainable and circular future.
At the core of Burel Factory lies a deep respect for the people, machines, and processes that have shaped the region’s wool history for generations. In its historic factory, wool is still carded, spun, and woven on 19th-century machines, guided by skilled hands and time-honoured techniques.
Burel’s work spans architecture, estate regeneration, product design, fabric production, interior decoration, and fashion. Through design, art, and scientific innovation, the brand continues to reimagine tradition for contemporary use, maintaining a strong connection to place and process.
