Ladies long cardigan

This closureless long cardigan is a lovely basic piece for chilly days. That's because Les Racines du Ciel combines two particularly valuable natural fibers here: fine, immensely soft and warming alpaca hair and Pima cotton, which is an exceptionally long-staple cotton that is also known as the "silk of South America" thanks to its smooth fibers. Thanks to this alliance of materials, the knit is particularly kind to the skin and at the same time a bit more durable. The cardigan is worked with a light shawl collar and two knitted-in pockets with rolled hems.

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.
