Vintage 1970s M&S Wool Blend Cardigan | Beige Grey Shetland Knit | Women’s UK 10

DESCRIPTION

A classic vintage 1970s Marks & Spencer cardigan in a softly heathered beige-grey Shetland wool blend. With its understated colouring and traditional button-front shape, this is an exceptionally versatile piece of British vintage knitwear.

The cardigan features a V neckline, long sleeves and two practical front patch pockets. Ribbed cuffs, hem and button band add structure, while the wool-and-acrylic blend provides warmth with added durability.
