Utterly Pretty Vintage 60s Embroidered Cardigan Sweater -
SOLD
Embroidery transforms this vintage cardigan from understated to absolutely pretty. We love these Hong Kong pieces that date from the 60s. They did the best embroidery n Hong Kong.
This is a cream sweater that's as soft as cashmere, but likely a blend of wool, angora and rabbit hair. Just look at that pretty baby blue satin trim. It's also got self-fabric buttons that match the trim. The sleeves are three-quarter length.
Originally sold at The Compass Rose in St. Thomas, St. Croix, Virgin Islands, you just know that the woman who originally owned this was of a certain means and liked to buy nice things while on vacation.
If you're looking for a lovely heirloom dress sweater, then look no further. We're pretty surprised this one isn't making its way into our own closet. It's quite special and absolutely pretty.
