The Les Racines du Ciel
winter collection uses a lot of baby alpaca wool.
Alpacas live in harmony with nature in the highlands of the Andes. They have soft feet and gentle eating habits, leaving a much smaller footprint on the environment compared to other herding animals.
Alpaca wool is a very high quality fiber: it is softer, warmer, stronger and lighter than sheep wool.
Baby alpaca is a very fine alpaca yarn of 21-23 microns.
It is spun and dyed in Italy by a dedicated company that purchases alpaca wool from a Peruvian cooperative.
In the winter collection you will also find items made of "alpacotton": a mix of 56% alpaca and 44% organic pima cotton.
The strong, soft, warm and light alpaca wool is combined here with organic pima cotton to obtain a light and airy look.
The Les Racines Du Ciel
summer collection is light and airy: mainly organic cotton and linen are used.
The cotton that is used is 100% organic, but Egyptian long-fiber cotton is also used, because of its exceptional properties such as durability, softness and shine.
It is spun and dyed by an Italian company that works in partnership with Egyptian farmers and is strongly committed to environmental and social issues.
Les Racines du Ciel t-shirts are made from organic cotton from Turkey.
It is spun and dyed in Portugal by companies known for the quality of their work and at the forefront of environmental standards.
Linen is the ecological textile fiber of choice: it does not produce waste because the whole plant is used and the mechanical transformation is the least polluting.
The garments are a luxurious natural product. Minor imperfections are seen as characteristics and should not be construed as defects. Treat it with love, follow the washing instructions carefully and the item will stay with you for a long time.
