This is a gorgeous original 1950s sweater by Ryburn, beautifully made in England from 100% pure cashmere.
This delightful piece comes in a wonderfully vibrant shade of coral pink, somewhere between bright raspberry pink and soft watermelon red, bringing a beautiful splash of colour to any vintage wardrobe.
Featuring a classic round neckline, short raglan sleeves and a beautifully fitted silhouette, the sweater is finished with a wide ribbed waistband that gently hugs the waist, creating the unmistakably feminine shape of 1950s knitwear.
The exceptionally soft pure cashmere has a lovely fine-knit texture, offering luxurious comfort while remaining wonderfully lightweight. Its simple, elegant design allows the beautiful colour and quality of the Scottish-style knitwear to take centre stage.
Complete with its original Ryburn label, featuring the distinctive red lion emblem and confirming its English manufacture and pure cashmere composition.
A charming and timeless example of 1950s British knitwear, combining luxurious natural fibres, beautiful colour and effortless mid-century elegance.
