GATHERINGS OF THE ATELIER
A Trunk Show is a gathering rooted in craft. The name is old: when workshops had no shop of their own, they carried their cloth from city to city in trunks, to show it up close. Murmells takes up that gesture and brings it to a room in Madrid. Ninety minutes around four fibres — camel hair, cashmere, virgin wool, alpaca — the mills of Biella and Huddersfield, and the craft of double-face. It is not a class, nor a brand presentation. It is closer to a tasting: you touch, you compare, you learn to look at a coat closely. Six to twelve guests.

Cada fibra noble lleva siglos abrigando a la humanidad.
Mucho antes del patrón, de la costura y de la prenda terminada, ya existía una inteligencia natural: animales adaptados al frío, al viento, a la altura, al desierto o a la nieve.
La velada empieza ahí, en lo que la naturaleza ya ha hecho.
I
El camello bactriano · Pelo de camello
Vive en el Gobi, entre los cuarenta bajo cero del invierno y los cuarenta sobre cero del verano. Lleva dos abrigos a la vez. En primavera, deja caer el de dentro. Nadie se lo esquila. Se le espera.
Su fibra abriga, respira y pesa poco. Tiene una sequedad elegante. Una forma de proteger sin imponerse.
II
La cabra de Alashan · Cashmere
La fibra más fina que viste a la humanidad crece bajo el pelo de una cabra que vive a dos mil metros. El cashmere no se esquila: se peina, una sola vez al año. Una cabra entrega apenas un puñado.
Por eso el verdadero cashmere no se entiende solo por suavidad. También por rareza, rendimiento y oficio.
III
La oveja · Lana virgen
La fibra más antigua. La peor entendida.
No toda lana se comporta igual. Importa la raza, la longitud, el rizo, la limpieza, el hilado y el acabado.
Durante siglos, los mejores hiladores se concentraron en lugares muy concretos. Biella. Huddersfield. Valles donde el agua, la técnica y el tiempo hicieron escuela.
IV
La Alpaca Huacaya y Suri · Alpaca
La alpaca vive a casi cuatro kilómetros de altura.
Hay dos razas principales: Huacaya, más mullida y mate; Suri, más larga, lustrosa, casi seda.
La misma noche. El mismo frío. Dos formas distintas de abrigo.

HOW TO ATTEND
The atelier holds gatherings in Madrid once a month during the season. They can also be hosted within your own circle, for the people you choose.
PRIVATE TRUNK SHOWS
Within your circle.
A gathering with the people you choose. The host provides the guest list — the atelier provides everything else. Available in two modalities, according to the space.
In your own space.
The gathering takes place in your home. The atelier provides materials and catering. No cost to the host.
In a facilitated space.
The atelier secures a premium venue in your city. The cost of the space and catering is borne by the hostess.

Preguntas frecuentes
C L E A N I N G
Camel hair is naturally self-cleaning, thanks to its lanolin and antibacterial properties. One professional cleaning at the end of each season is enough. Between wears, airing the coat in a ventilated room for a few hours will do. Dry cleaning with solvent F.
S T O R A G E
Folded, or hung on a wide wooden hanger. Breathable cotton bag. A small sachet of cedar or lavender nearby — never in direct contact with the cloth.
M A I N T E N A N C E
Brush gently in the direction of the fibre after each wear. Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces or zippers. If pilling appears, remove it with a brush made for noble fibres — it is a natural process, not a sign of poor quality.
C L E A N I N G
Coats in double-face cashmere cannot be hand washed — the unlined construction, joined at pick stitch, comes apart in water. Professional dry cleaning with solvent F, exclusively. Cashmere has natural self-cleaning properties that reduce the need for frequent washing.
S T O R A G E
Folded for long-term storage, or hung on a wide wooden hanger for regular use. Never in plastic — cashmere is particularly prone to yellowing when confined.
M A I N T E N A N C E A N D P I L L I N G
Pilling is a natural behaviour of pure cashmere — not a defect. The first fifteen to twenty wears produce the most pilling; after that, the fibre settles. A cashmere comb, drawn in one direction, with very light pressure. Never a razor blade. Never an electric shaver.
C L E A N I N G
Virgin wool is naturally self-cleaning, antibacterial, and resistant to creasing. Dry cleaning with solvent F at the end of the season. Between wears, a few hours in a ventilated room is enough.
S T O R A G E
Hung on a wide wooden hanger or folded, depending on the construction of the coat. Breathable cotton bag. Virgin wool can absorb up to 30% of its weight in moisture without feeling wet — it is not stored in damp places.
C R E A S E S A N D M A I N T E N A N C E
For light creases, vertical steam (a handheld steamer, or the steam of a hot shower). If ironing is needed, maximum 110°C / 230°F with steam off — the Woolmark standard — always with a press cloth between iron and wool.
C L E A N I N G
Both fibres have self-cleaning and antibacterial properties that reduce the need for frequent washing. The double-face construction calls for professional dry cleaning with solvent F. No hand washing, under any circumstance.
S T O R A G E
Folded or hung on a wide wooden hanger. Cotton bag. The presence of virgin wool gives the cloth more structural resilience than pure cashmere, but it asks for the same storage care.
P I L L I N G
The fifty-fifty proportion offers significantly greater pilling resistance than pure cashmere — the longer fibre of virgin wool stabilises the blend. If pilling appears, remove it with a cashmere comb in one direction, light pressure.
C L E A N I N G
Alpaca contains no lanolin — it is naturally resistant to stains, odours, and bacteria. It needs less cleaning than any other noble fibre: it can be worn four or five times before cleaning is needed. Dry cleaning with solvent F at the end of the season.
S T O R A G E
Folded or hung on a wide wooden hanger. Cotton bag. The natural antimicrobial properties of alpaca protect it better than other fibres during storage.
S H O R T - H A I R A N D L O N G - H A I R
The finish defines the care. Short-hair: brush gently after each wear, with natural bristles. Long-hair: avoid prolonged contact with abrasive surfaces (handbags, seat belts). Never iron long-hair alpaca — it crushes the character of the cloth. Vertical steam, always.
Noble fibres have accompanied humanity for thousands of years. The craft of the coat learns from them.
