VERA Platform_1781 Knitted wool jacket / cardigan "This jacket is made from pure virgin wool sourced from Xalda sheep, a native breed of Asturias known for the quality of its fiber and its adaptation to rural environments. The design is simple and functional, featuring two front pockets, long sleeves, and an open front without lapels. The buttons are crafted from Spanish olive wood, adding a natural and artisanal touch that reinforces the garment\u2019s sustainable character. The jacket follows a classic rural style, reinterpreted by Marina with a focus on comfort and versatility. Her goal was to create an open garment suitable for all seasons, and especially practical for breastfeeding, without compromising on aesthetics or functionality. The result is a practical, adaptable piece with a strong identity. Although originally conceived as a unisex jacket, experience showed that many potential customers were unable to purchase it due to sizing limitations. As a result, Marina has begun developing a men\u2019s version in a larger size, expanding its market potential while maintaining the essence of the original design. The jacket was launched recently, but is not yet available for purchase on her website. It represents a proposal that blends tradition, sustainability, and contemporary design, highlighting local resources through artisanal fashion." iain Spanish Movable Heritage image/jpeg IMAGE University of St Andrews VERA Platform 1616 "This jacket is made from pure virgin wool sourced from Xalda sheep, a native breed of Asturias known for the quality of its fiber and its adaptation to rural environments.
