In the Zeeland folk costumes of Walcheren, smocking was often applied along the neck. The ladies who wore this traditional costume wore nothing else than this costume and therefore wore a (often) self-smoothed ‘beuk’ for every day (the ‘beuk’ is the part of the Walcheren costume that covers the bosom). This piece of handicraft gives the clothes so much value. This technique is highlighted in the material by greatly enlarging details.

The material is made from 100% wool felt and due to the wool and to the patterns it is very good for acoustic purposes. 100% Wool felt is also non-flammable. Can be custom made in different sizes, shapes and colours.
