Shepherd's Pillow

60

El Shepherd's Pillow s’ha inspirat en els vellons de llana que els pastors del Pirineu portaven junt amb el tapaboques quan sortien a pasturar el ramat.

The pillow cover is made from linen fabric and filled with wool from an Andorran sheep.

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 the shepherd's pillow from the same natural fiber, inspired by the woolen blankets that shepherds in the Pyrenees have traditionally carried so they could lie down in the fold. We hope that this new resource, made possible by the wool from our sheep, makes a beautiful contribution to this legacy we joyfully receive. With that same joy, we would like to pass on this simple cushion inspired by the rich pastoral culture of our region, as well as that of the entire Pyrenees.
