This soft knitted hood is ideal for anyone who doesn't want to freeze outdoors in winter but prefers less thick clothing indoors. It is also a real eye-catcher with its striking melange look and textured ribbed design. Thanks to its sophisticated shape and double buttoning at the neck, the hood fits snugly and reliably keeps out the cold - it's practically a hat and scarf in one. The material is just right: a good half is alpaca hair in Fibra Superior quality, the highest quality level with the finest and softest hair. The rest is long-staple Pima cotton from controlled organic cultivation, which is famous for its exceptional softness and beautiful sheen.

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.
