Shepherd's coat

700

We have created a one-of-a-kind piece by updating the original design and texture of the Pyrenean shepherds' cloak. Shepherds have used this cloak for centuries; its shape, weight, and texture are part of an ancient tradition.

The coat is made 100% from sheep's wool, without any dyes. The wool comes from sheep in Andorran flocks, and the fabric was produced in northern Spain.

From the Mediterranean to the Cantabrian Sea stretches the very long backbone of the Pyrenees. This geographic expanse has had its own cultural, agricultural, and spiritual identity for centuries. Andorra, despite its small territory, is part of this vast geography and its rich heritage.

With the aim of preserving the identity of this small country, the VITAL project was born. Its first initiative is to save the lambs from destruction when the sheep are shorn each spring.

With this natural fiber, mountain people have always dressed to protect themselves from the cold and have made it an indispensable material for a good bed.

Now VITAL creates, using the same natural fiber, the shepherds' cloak, updating the design and texture that shepherds in the Pyrenees have traditionally worn to protect themselves from the cold and rain. Shepherds have used the cloak for centuries; its shape, weight, and texture are part of an ancestral tradition. We hope that this new resource, made possible by the wool of our sheep, will make a beautiful contribution to this legacy we joyfully receive and, with the same joy, we would like to pass on this understated cloak inspired by the rich culture.livestock farming in our territory, as well as throughout the Pyrenees.
