Let winter come! Dressed in this cozy knit sweater, the cold won’t bother you, and you’ll feel completely at ease. Les Racines du Ciel combines two premium fibers into a soft, warm, and temperature-regulating knit. The sweater is made up of about half Peruvian alpaca hair. This valuable natural fiber is exceptionally fine and supple, and as a hollow fiber, it possesses outstanding thermal insulation properties. Additionally, alpaca hair is considered particularly hypoallergenic, as it contains almost no lanolin (wool grease). This luxurious material is complemented by long-staple Pima cotton, which is exceptionally soft and durable thanks to its long fibers.

A classic patent-knit design. Provides cozy warmth

Since the sweater is fisherman’s knit, it features a voluminous, textured knit pattern while remaining feather-light, elastic, and breathable. The use of yarns in different colors creates a vibrant melange effect. The sweater is crafted in a classic style: with a relaxed fit, raglan sleeves, and ribbed cuffs at the neck, sleeves, and hem.

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.
