Estimated 1960s, French-made V-neck wool sweater.
A rare deadstock acquisition.
Knitwear represents an increasingly selective category for our stock. French knitwear from this era surfaces rarely in the market.
Constructed from textured mixed wool—burgundy as the base with black-toned yarns woven throughout, lending the piece considerable character.
Blended with acrylic and other synthetics rather than pure wool, the fabric resists the scratchiness typical of 100% wool, making it approachable for those with sensitivity to heavier knits.
Equally suited to standalone wear or as a layering piece—a versatile counterpoint to winter's darker tones.
The V-neck depth strikes an elegant balance—neither shallow nor exaggerated—allowing for layering and interplay with inner garments.
The fit runs small, suiting slighter frames comfortably. Women will find it particularly charming in scale and proportion.
Deadstock condition means the piece presents unmarred—recommended for those seeking pristine examples.
An essential layer for autumn and winter. Worth considering if you've been seeking something of this caliber.
