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, 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.
