Ladies knitted shirt half-sleeve linen

Les Racines du Ciel produces this casually cut, figure-hugging knitted shirt from pure linen that is grown, spun and processed in Europe. This creates short distances within the production process. Linen is the ideal material for the warmer seasons, as the skin-friendly fiber is particularly breathable: it absorbs a lot of moisture and quickly wicks it away again, creating a pleasantly cooling effect on the skin. The airy knit has a fine transparency and the typical linen sheen. Rib-knitted sections on the sides of the body and at the base of the raglan sleeves as well as rib-knitted cuffs on the neck, sleeves and body create a varied knitted look.

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.
