Ladies cardigan

It keeps you warm in cool weather and has a temperature-regulating effect on summer days - and these are not the only benefits of merino wool. It is also particularly supple and skin-friendly, which even wool-sensitive people appreciate. Its light and very fine fibers (between 16.5 and 24 microns) are highly crimped and curl as soon as they come into contact with the skin. For this cardigan, Les Racines du Ciel uses mulesing-free merino wool from controlled organic animal husbandry. The knit is light and airy, making it even more comfortable to wear. Striking mother-of-pearl buttons and the fine ribbed knit on the neck, sleeves and body round off the design of this cardigan.

On the western tip of the Breton peninsula lies the department of Finistère. According to the Roman name, this is the end of the earth. For the Bretons, on the other hand, it is “Penn ar Bed”, the beginning of the world – a reading that does far more justice to the brand “Les Racines du Ciel” (i. e., the roots of heaven). Nathalie Goyette and Christian Tournafol founded the Quimper-based brand. The two have been producing elegant, feminine and timeless women’s fashion since 2005. Besides aiming at high-quality standards, Les Racines du Ciel’s declared entrepreneurial goal is to promote artisanal traditions and products and thus preserve jobs in impoverished rural areas. They choose their production locations correspondingly.
