For this collection, I’m exploring USA’s Old West fashion and combining some of its elements and visuals with some traits of the Portuguese costumes.
The burgundy skirt is made of Burel which is a traditional artisanal fabric, made of wool of Serra da Estrela Sheep. It is very warm and water resistant and is usually used to make the traditional Capote Alentejano, as seen in Golegã. It is a split skirt that can be turned into chaps creating a “cowgirl” like silhouette. The pockets were inspired by the traditional Viana pocketMade to order and your measurements. There is an extensive and beautiful palete of colours available.
the amazing and unique piece of Galician artisanal jewellery custom made by my talented friend Susi Gesto. Not included but can be ordered.
