Meeting Isabel of Burel Factory was one of the many highlights during my time in Lisbon this past winter. Burel Factory is an innovative textile brand based in the Manteigas mountains of Serra da Estrela, Portugal. I love their products, vision, and ethos.
I feel my conversation with Isabel was one of the more optimistic ones I’ve had about this sector in a while. She is doing, not just talking. That’s why I want to share her story with others – because what Isabel is creating is a model that can truly sustain craft heritage.
