In the past, shepherds in Portugal’s rural Alentejo region would wrap themselves in these pure-wool “mantas” (blankets) to protect themselves from the cold.
Today, while these “mantas” can still be used as blankets, they are also used as bed throws, wall hangings, and graphic, contemporary rugs.
Each “manta” is unique, woven entirely by hand on 19th-century looms. Their traditional motifs and vibrant colors capture the very soul of the Alentejo region.
Note: To use your manta as a rug, just as you would a “kilim,” we recommend placing a non-slip fabric underneath so your rug won’t budge an inch. The colors and dimensions of our mantas can also be customized. Please don’t hesitate to contact us directly.
