INTRODUCING
Thanks to the perfect collaboration of Swiss heritage and Portuguese know-how, the Blacknose Collection has been expanded to include hats, bags and household items. These limited-edition products are crafted with wool from Swiss Valais Blacknose sheep that traditionally is burned or discarded because it was too coarse, but is now processed in a special manner by our partner at Burel, the legendary wool mill in Portugal. The result is a collection that is as good looking and durable as the mountain sheep that give it its name, and eco-friendly too.
10,000 years. That’s how long humans have been using this “super fiber.” Wool is warm in winter, cool in summer. Soft and cozy, it’s comfortable against your skin. Washable, antibacterial, water- and odor-resistant, wool stays clean and fresh. Plus, it’s strong as steel and incredibly flexible to stand up to daily wear.
All this makes wool last longer, which is good for the environment. After wool products run their course, they’re recyclable and, beyond that, they are biodegradable. And of course, the sheep aren’t harmed to harvest the fiber, so each season they grow more wool—making it nature’s ultimate renewable resource.
