Ladies long cardigan

Les Racines du Ciel makes this long, open cardigan from almost equal parts alpaca hair and certified organic cotton. The combination of materials gives the voluminous knitted fabric excellent wearing properties: it is warming and temperature-regulating, yet not too heavy, and particularly soft to the touch - ideal for the transitional season. And because alpaca hair has particularly fine fibers and also contains hardly any lanolin, even people who are sensitive or even allergic to wool will feel completely comfortable in this long cardigan. It is buttonless and without a belt and has 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.
