Light, warm and timeless. The short ŽIVA coat made from original wool fabric by Linda Havrlíková combines the natural beauty of sheep’s wool with clean design that suits both the city and the countryside. Its relaxed, short cut flatters the figure while leaving enough freedom for movement and layering. The coat is ideal for transitional seasons — protecting against the cold while remaining breathable and comfortable to wear.

Linda Havrlíková’s approach is defined by a deep respect for the landscape — the wool fabric you are looking at is made using an original process without the chemical treatments commonly used for wool fabrics. This makes the production process considerably more demanding, but possible thanks to the willingness and expertise of Czech textile companies.
The lining is 100% linen in its natural shade. The linen fabric is woven by a Czech textile company from European sources. As a material, linen undergoes standard technological treatments during yarn production, the details of which cannot be fully traced — nevertheless, it remains a natural material, strong, breathable and in harmony with the wool cloth that forms the main layer of the garment.
Care:
Products made from Czech sheep’s wool should be aired regularly and refreshed with steam.
Minor stains can be brushed away with a clothes brush, or the affected area can be gently dampened and hand-washed locally using gall soap or an ecological wool detergent. The water temperature must not exceed 25–30°C. After washing, do not wring. Instead, gently press the fabric between your palms to release the water. Lay the garment flat on a towel, away from direct sunlight, and allow it to dry thoroughly.
If the garment needs to be smoothed, place a damp cloth (soaked and wrung out) over the fabric and press gently with an iron. Do not iron directly; simply press and lift.
In case of heavy soiling, take the garment to a professional dry cleaner experienced in the gentle chemical cleaning of Czech wool fabric.
