Burel Factory has just announced the launch of its new Wool & Pet collection, featuring clothing and accessories for pets, now available on the Serra da Estrela-based brand’s website.
“Introducing Burel Factory’s first pet collection — Wool & Pet, where timeless craftsmanship meets tail-wagging comfort,” the Beira-based artisan brand states in a press release. “Designed with the same care, quality and natural materials, your four-legged friends can now enjoy durable performance on outdoor walks and cozy comfort indoors.”
“Made from burel wool with leather detailing, each piece is carefully crafted to deliver durability, comfort and timeless design — whether for a stroll in the park or a cuddle on the sofa. A perfect collection for your beloved companions.”
“Burel Factory takes a pioneering step into the pet world with its first collection, where each piece reflects the brand’s unique identity, using the iconic burel — natural, hard-wearing and sustainable — to create accessories that blend contemporary design with comfort, enhancing your pet’s well-being,” the brand states on its website, Burelfactory.com.

The Wool & Pet collection, a first for Burel Factory in this category, features nine items: an adjustable neck-and-chest cover (Pet Cover), lined with wool flannel, priced at €69; a hands-free leash (Hands-Free Leash), adjustable to five positions for hand, waist or shoulder use, with carabiners at both ends for side adjustment and collar attachment, priced at €31; an adjustable burel and leather collar (Collar), priced at €32; a burel pet bed (Pet Bed), with removable lining and filling for easy washing, plus a leather handle, priced at €107; an adjustable harness (Harness), which attaches to the leash via a D-ring in two positions (chest and back), and is adjustable in width and length, priced at €47; an adjustable collar with a reversible bandana (Collar with Bandana), priced at €38; a reversible vest, adjustable at the neck and chest (Pet Reversible Puffer), priced at €77; a burel fabric pouf for the home (Pet Pouf), with removable filling for easy washing and a leather handle, priced at €105; and, finally, a multipurpose blanket for lying on or covering (Pet Blanket), with leather trim, priced at €65.
All items are crafted on Portugal’s highest mountain, drawing on the ancestral savoir-faire of Portuguese shepherds. They are offered in colors inspired by the mountain landscape, with two or three options available for each product.

Indonesia’s thrift surge fuels waste and textile industry woes
Indonesia’s second-hand clothing boom, despite a long-standing ban on importing used clothes (since ****) aimed at protecting the domestic textile industry, preventing health and environmental risks, and promoting local production, is fast becoming one of the country’s most troubling economic and environmental dilemmas.
What began as an underground trade catering to budget-conscious shoppers has evolved into a full-blown national concern—one that is hollowing out the industry, overwhelming landfills, and upending the domestic market.

UK growth outlook cautious despite marginal CEI rebound
The Conference Board (TCB) Leading Economic Index (LEI) for the United Kingdom edged down by 0.1 per cent in October 2025 to 74.1 (2016=100), marking a second consecutive monthly decline after a similar fall in September. As a result, the UK LEI contracted by 0.8 per cent over the six-month period from April to October 2025.
The UK Leading Economic Index fell 0.1 per cent in October 2025, extending its decline and signalling continued weakness in forward-looking indicators.
Over six months, the LEI contracted 0.8 per cent, though less sharply than earlier in the year.
Meanwhile, the Coincident Economic Index rose marginally, but its six-month growth slowed sharply, indicating softer underlying economic momentum.
While this indicates continued softening in forward-looking economic signals, the pace of decline was notably slower than the 1.5 per cent contraction recorded between October 2024 and April 2025, suggesting some moderation in downside momentum, TCB said in a release.
In contrast, the Conference Board Coincident Economic Index (CEI) for the UK rose by 0.1 per cent in October 2025 to 108.1 (2016=100), reversing a 0.1 per cent decline in September. Despite this monthly improvement, overall growth in current economic activity remained subdued.
The CEI increased by just 0.2 per cent between April and October 2025, well below the 1 per cent expansion seen in the previous six-month period from October 2024 to April 2025.
