50’s Black Hand Knit Angora Cardigan$85.00
Beautiful deep black hand-knit angora bolero shrug sweater. Circa 1950s.
The fluffy angora knit is very soft, plush, and fluffy.
Cropped length with raglan style 3/4 length sleeves, open front, and boxy cut.
The body of this sweater is unlined with no fasteners.
The back of the inside neckline is lined with a wide band of hand-stitched soft black cotton.
I have lightened photo three to show you the details of this sweater. The color is rich in deep black as shown in the other photos.
DESIGNER LABEL: None as this is hand knit
FABRIC CONTENT: No indication as this hand knit. I have handled many angora sweaters over my years of collecting and selling vintage sweaters and this is most likely 70% to 80% angora.
CONDITION: Excellent ~ No pills, stains, odors, discoloration, fading, rips, holes, tears, or other issues. Gently worn and very well cared for.
