Ladies cardigan buttoned

Thanks to the airy knit, this hip-length cardigan is a great companion on warm spring days and fresh summer evenings, which is also helped by the choice of materials. Les Racines du Ciel uses a combination of 70 percent breathable, cooling linen and 30 percent skin-friendly, organically grown cotton. The plastic knitted fabric is light on the skin and has a fine transparency. The cardigan has a comfortable, casual cut with raglan sleeves and rib-knit cuffs on the sleeves and body. The neckline and button placket are also rib-knitted.

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.
