In the past, the shepherds of the Alentejo, a rural region of Portugal, wrapped themselves in these “mantas” (blankets) made of pure wool to protect themselves from the cold.
Today, while these “mantas” can still be used as blankets, they are also used as bedspreads, wall hangings, or graphic and contemporary rugs.
Each “manta” is unique, woven entirely by hand on 19th-century looms. Through their traditional patterns and vibrant colors, they embody the very soul of the Alentejo.

Note: To use your manta as a rug, just like a “kilim,” we recommend placing a non-slip mat underneath it so it won’t slide. The colors and dimensions of our “mantas” can also be customized. Please feel free to contact us directly at info@lamaisondecommerce.com if needed.
