Vintage 1950s Angora Lambswool Jumper | Raspberry Pink Button Neck Sweater | Women’s 50s Knitwear

DESCRIPTION

A beautiful vintage 1950s jumper in a rich raspberry-pink lambswool and angora blend. With its fitted shape, luxurious natural-fibre knit and distinctive buttoned turtleneck, this is a particularly elegant example of mid-century knitwear.

The high neckline fastens at the side with three small buttons, creating a stylish detail while making the jumper easier to put on. Its neat ribbed cuffs and hem complement the classic fitted silhouette, which sits beautifully with high-waisted skirts and trousers.

Warm without appearing bulky, this original 1950s knit would make a wonderful addition to a carefully curated vintage wardrobe.
