KAIKU GOXO ITSASO

Description

The Story

Kaiku or lekeitiarra is a traditional coat from the Basque Country. The arrantzaleak (fishermen) used to wear it when fishing in the Bay of Biscay. It was made with a very dense wool fabric, perfect for the heavy northern rain and wind in the sea.

In the ‘20s, a new street version appeared and the amonak (grannys) started to make them for their grandchildren and children. It became the most popular coat in the Basque Country. Nowadays, it is about to disappear.

Fabric & care

• Composition: 100% wool

Wool is one of the most incredible natural fabrics that exist. It is biodegradable and sustainable. It usually comes from sheep, and that is what keeps them warm in the winter. Its characteristics are spectacular, especially for outwear, as it is a natural regulator of the temperature that keeps you dry and warm in the winter, absorbs humidity and resists smells, mould and dirt.

Care: Avoid excessive washing, unless necessary. Dry-clean your garment at the end of the season and storage it, preferably on a hanger, in a dry and ventilated space, with no direct sunlight, until the next year.

Traceability and Sustainability

The fabric for this garment has been selected by us from the warehouse of an old fabric shop in Eibar (Basque Country). This shop still had a few metres of fabrics from many years ago, from Spanish factories that no longer even exist. With this selection we have launched this exclusive and limited collection, which is a real treasure!

This garment has been handcrafted with loads of love in one of our workshops in Trapaga (Basque Country).

The rest of the elements and trimmings that we have used in this garment are also of local origin (European Union).
