This is an adorable 1950s cardigan by Dalton, crafted in wonderfully soft 100% virgin cashmere in a lovely vintage rose pink shade.
Featuring a classic round neckline, long sleeves, a gently fitted waist and a row of delicate mother-of-pearl buttons down the front.
A particularly charming detail is the little decorative chest pocket, finished with a matching mother-of-pearl button, adding a lovely touch of character to this timeless design.
The beautifully soft cashmere and elegant silhouette make this a wonderful example of classic 1950s American knitwear.
