1950s I. Magnin Pale Blue Sweater Cardigan w Silk Ribbon and Hand Done Embroidery Work

This wonderful little cardigan is a true find. It is in fantastic shape and in fact looks to have been worn very little if at all. It has the most beautiful detailing and in person it is far better then how it photoed. The colour is gorgeous. It is a soft pale ice blue that is not quite captured in the photos. It simply slips on the wear with no closures. The edges are all detailed and finished with a wide and stunning panel of embroidered silk ribbon. This is laid out in two rows that sit side by side. In between them is a band of pale blue knots and a trellis made of a pink silk cord. The knots and trellis are all done in a blue silk cord and pink silk cord with tiny pops of green to portray the leaves. More knots bind the far side of the ribbon and the edges are finished with a hand done edging in the pink cording. I love the classic fifties styling with its cropped cut and loose fit through the body. The knit feels like a high grade angora mohair and you can clearly see the hand work from the back side. It is such a charming piece and a great way to work a fabulous piece of the past into your wardrobe. Excellent condition

Unlined and slips on to wear. In excellent condition and appears to have never been worm or worn very little. The easy cut should allow it to work on a range of sizes.
