Linen shawls woven in an openwork square structure, where the alternation of full and empty spaces creates transparency, lightness and movement. The deliberately open weave allows light to pass through the piece and the colour to interact with the surroundings and the body, exploring the balance between structure and fragility, highlighting the rhythm of the loom and the expressiveness of linen.

Designed as enveloping textiles, they transcend their function to occupy a space close to that of an object or work of art, where the craftsmanship and time spent on their creation remain visible.

This shawl finds its elegance in the way it accompanies the body. The openwork linen fabric responds to movement with lightness and fluidity, allowing the piece to move, shift and breathe with the wearer.

Process responsible

At Belategui Regueiro we work with very short series -and many times unique pieces- because we believe in responsible production. This allows us to choose and use only the necessary materials, without accumulating large quantities or generating unnecessary stock. This way we avoid waste and ensure that each piece is woven with intention, time and care.

Care and recommendations

Wash your pieces by hand with neutral soap, without twisting and letting them dry in the shade. In the case of linen, it is best to iron it when it is not yet completely dry.

Maintenance

Always store your pieces stretched or folded gently, avoiding prolonged weight on hangers so that they do not become deformed. Airing them from time to time – without exposing them to direct sunlight – helps to keep their fibers in good condition.
We weave with noble and sensitive materials: a simple and regular care will ensure that each piece will accompany you for many years.

Environmental note

Made following a production cycle of low environmental impact because we have woven it by hand in one of the artisan looms that we have in our workshop in Cambre (A Coruña). We have finished the fringe by hand knotting it, we have washed it by hand with neutral soap, air dried it and the only electricity we have consumed in its creation process has been the one necessary to illuminate the workshop and for the final ironing.

As the soap we use in the washing process is of vegetable origin, we use the water left over from this process to control aphids on the plants in our vegetable garden. A simple way to close the cycle and reduce waste.

Repair and service life

If your part needs a small adjustment or repair over time, you can write to us. We prefer to accompany you throughout its life than to replace it with another one.
