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. 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.
