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% merino 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.
Merino wool is also one of the best in the world of wool, due to its delicacy and softness. In order to transform the fabric into cloth, it goes through a series of mechanic processes that compact the wool, therefore making it virtually waterproof and windproof.
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 wool cloth of this garment has been spun and woven in a town in León by one of the few remaining companies in Spain. The wool comes from flocks in Palencia and Extremadura that properly respect the rights of their animals.
This garment has been made with loads of love by tailors and seamstresses from Bizkaia (Basque Country).
We start sewing some of the models after the order has been made, so we prevent overproduction and wasting fabric. This is known as #SlowFashion.
