My Linnea Lund : Angela
A Sister's Story: Angela's Connection to Linnea Lund
Asked what cashmere reminds her of, Angela answers without hesitation: "softness, simplicity, and warmth." Three words that characterize her so well that they could be attributed to her. Angela is all of these things at once, a reassuring, comforting, and caring older sister. She has always been there for Charlotte, from the early sketches of Linnea Lund's first creations.
Even though the two sisters live in different time zones and haven't lived on the same continent for a long time, they remain connected to each other, no matter the distance. Day or night, they can talk for hours on the phone, share their lives, support each other, and give each other courage, like best friends. And that's exactly what they are:
Her ability to reinvent herself inspired one of Linnea Lund's best-sellers: our 100% cashmere poncho, which can be worn as a coat, scarf, or sweater, depending on the season and mood. This essential and timeless piece of the Swedish wardrobe perfectly embodies Charlotte's vision of fashion: clothing with a low impact on the planet.
Shared Values: Sustainability and Family
La Belle Bleue (The Beautiful Blue, referring to the ocean) is another cause that unites the two sisters, as they both strive to preserve it in their own way. Angela, as a sustainable development consultant, takes actions to reduce plastic consumption, while Charlotte advocates for reasoned and on-demand production. These essential values of respect for the environment and living beings were inherited from their mother, Susanne, and they pass them on to the family's children: Maya, Jenna, and Noah.
Gathered for the summer at their mother's house in Normandy, Charlotte and Angela catch up on the long months of separation. It's an opportunity to immortalize these moments of joy as a family and to highlight the older sister that Charlotte admires so much. And it's while wearing traditional Swedish clogs that she never takes off that the discreet yet radiant Angela talks to us about her wardrobe and the Linnea Lund pieces she loves.
