Michone Burel Boots

Handmade Line
Marita Moreno’s Handmade Line is produced with handmade components. This line has items made in weaving – produced handmade in a loom in Azores by Eduarda Vieira; or in this case in burel – a 100% wool cloth produced by a company of family origin, located in Manteigas, Serra da Estrela.
Burel’s authenticity results from a sequence of specific operations in the manufacturing process. The wool, after being shorn, washed, spun, woven into the organ and woven into the loom, is trodden on a machine called a stomp, which knocks and scalds the wool, transforming the fabric into burel, making it tighter, more resistant and waterproof.
Both materials were made by certifieds UPA’s in Portugal.
