This cardigan is so soft and warm that you won't want to take it off. Les Racines du Ciel makes it from pure Peruvian baby alpaca. This is the name given to the fine hair of young animals from the first shearing, but also to the hair of adult alpacas when its fiber fineness is between 20.1 and 23 microns. The light and airy, fluffy knitted fabric has a beautiful three-dimensional knit pattern and a striking melange look. The cardigan features two knitted-in pockets with ribbed knit at the opening. The neck, sleeves and body are also finished with rib-knitted cuffs.

On the western tip of the Breton peninsula lies the department of Finistère, whose name—dating back to Roman times—means “the end of the earth.” For the Bretons, however, it is “Penn ar Bed,” the beginning of the world—an interpretation that far better suits the Quimper-based brand “Les Racines du Ciel,” founded by Nathalie Goyette and Christian Tournafol. The brand’s origins lie in the fact that, since 2005, the two have been designing elegant, feminine, and timeless women’s fashion with the highest quality standards. Production takes place in artisanal workshops in Portugal.
