Wool goods to keep you warm during the cold winter

This autumn, there were some warm days that made it difficult to tell when the seasons were changing. The cold weather has finally started to set in. Here are some recommended items for this season.

Portuguese blanket "Manticas"

A blanket is an essential item during the cold winter. It can be used as a lap blanket while watching TV or as a sofa cover. Having one is a great item that can broaden the scope of your life.

The Portuguese blanket, MANTECAS, is a Greenwich staple item, made from 100% natural wool.

Manticas is produced in MANTEIGAS, a village in the mountains of Portugal. It is a traditional woolen textile production area that has been producing wool for 400 years and is also said to be the birthplace of the cloak.

Burel Factory, which has its workshop here, is a manufacturer that produces a variety of wool products, from interior goods to apparel.
The wool obtained from the sheep of this area, called Burrel wool, is characterized by being less prone to pilling because the yarn is finer and denser than that of ordinary woven fabrics.

The blankets, woven on looms from the 1600s, are durable yet very soft. They have the warmth and craftsmanship that can only be achieved in this region. The beautiful dyeing process using natural ingredients and the unique textiles are what make them so appealing.

Every year, we have a hard time deciding which item to introduce from the many available. One of our recommendations this year is a small lap blanket that children can use.

The vibrant yellow "Gathering" is a popular textile in the store every year. The small size of the selected 80 x 100 cm is just right for use as a lap blanket at your desk.

It is more expensive than a typical blanket, but I think having one that is durable and can be loved for a long time will make your life more enjoyable.

We are often asked about how to care for this product, but it can be washed or dry cleaned. The more you wash it, the more unique texture it takes on, which is different from that of a new product, and you can enjoy the unique feel of this product.

Room shoes made by Danish sisters

Starting this year, we have begun selling "egos" room shoes, a Danish design made by two Danish sisters.

Two sisters, Gry and Sif, were fascinated by the people of Nepal while backpacking and were inspired by their traditional culture. They started making things that combined Danish design with their own techniques.

Because they are carefully sewn by hand, only two pairs can be made per day. They are also fair trade certified, and are recognized as products that support a stable life for people.

Igos room shoes are hard to lose their shape even if you use them every day, and above all, they are warm and don't get cold at the bottom. Wool has high moisture-regulating properties, so you can stay comfortable without getting sweaty.

We also recommend matching your outfit with your partner or matching different colors with your family members.

Also great as a gift

Items made with care are a joy for both the giver and the receiver. We also offer gift wrapping, so we would be delighted if you chose this item as a gift for someone special.

It's a cold season and you feel like doing nothing. Let's stay warm and happy at home with woolen items that will lift your spirits.
