Burel Factory is a Portuguese brand born in the Serra da Estrela, dedicated to the preservation and regeneration of industrial textile heritage, the deep knowledge of the wool industry passed down through generations, and the unique culture and traditions, artisanal traits, and rituals that tell the story of that place and its people. From the heart of the mountains, Burel Factory promotes mastery of knowledge, wool craftsmanship preserved by many hands that still weave, card, and spin on ancestral machines audible since the 19th century, whose rhythm and beauty stem from production with unmatched precision, detail, and quality. It ensures the legacy of wool and burel through design, art, and textile and scientific innovation, weaving a sustainable, circular, and more authentic vision of the future with threads from the past. This is done from a deep commitment to localism and slow production, elevated to art and a meaningful lifestyle with purpose. From architecture and renovation projects, rehabilitation, and customized interiors, to the production, transformation, and retail of fabrics, as well as product design for home and office environments, and now apparel and accessories as a new dedicated business area, Burel Factory reinvents Portuguese wool craftsmanship. This experience can be witnessed in our stores in Lisbon (Chiado) and Porto, but also at the top of the mountain in Manteigas — in the Factory, a living museum of immense heritage and innovation, open for visits and insights, and in the hotels 'Casa das Penhas Douradas' and 'Casa de São Lourenço', part of the Burel Factory family, which embody the same philosophy of regeneration in spaces of unparalleled comfort.
