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, 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.
