Alpaca hair is fine, soft, light and warm. No wonder it is so popular for scarves and Loops that come into direct contact with the skin when worn. Le Racines du Ciel combines alpaca hair in Fibra Superior quality, one of the highest quality levels with the finest and softest hairs, with skin-friendly, long-staple Pima cotton from controlled organic cultivation in this loose rib-knit and correspondingly voluminous and supple Loopscarf. When the scarf is placed around the neck, it turns automatically, revealing both its light and dark sides. This makes the large-format Loopscarf versatile and easy to combine.

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.
