Care

caring for linen

a lot of times it is enough to just hang your linen pieces outside to air them out. if you do want to wash your linen pieces you can wash them in the washing machine (you can wash linen up to 60 degrees without any issues). important: linen soaks up water - don't fill your washing machine too much. also, the fibers contract during washing and then "fall apart" and loosen up again once you wear them. do not tumble dry but hang to dry. can wrinkle easily so iron with high heat for a clean look.

what is linen?

linen is made from the fibers of a flax plant and is one of the oldest fabrics in the world. linen fabric was already used thousands of years ago - some evidence suggests over 30 000 years ago.

why love linen?

linen is very durable and tear-resistant. it absorbs moisture well and dries fast. it has a cooling effect - making it the perfect summer fabric. paired with some warmer layers you can wear it all year round thanks to its temperature regulating properties.

linen production

the crazy thing - all linen needs is the natural precipitation to grow flax. most linen is grown in europe - even in poor soil during dry seasons. hardly anything goes to waste too!

Production

ethically made in portugal

About the brand

'les racines du ciel' (the roots of heaven) is named after the 1956 novel that tells the story of a crusading environmentalist, who fights to preserve elephants from extinction. in its essence, this  tale is a metaphor for the quest for the salvation of all humanity. and it is so suitable for the founding story of this fashion brand. nathalie and christian are veterans of the fashion industry, who both bring many years of experience in this sector. after realizing they didn't want to continue to work for non-sustainable brands, they decided to do their own thing. and that "thing" is 'les racines du ciel', a sustainable knitwear brand. the founding team says it best themselves: "by putting respect for humans, animals, and nature at the heart of our garments, we have chosen to create timeless, quality clothing that we love to wear over time."
