This is a truly precious 1950s cashmere sweater by Dalton, crafted from wonderfully soft 100% pure imported cashmere in a glorious muted lavender shade.
Featuring an elegant high neckline with a beautifully ribbed yoke extending across the shoulders and upper chest, creating a lovely contrast with the smooth, soft knit of the body.
The real charm is at the back, where a delicate row of nine genuine mother-of-pearl buttons adds a wonderfully feminine finishing touch.
Finished with long sleeves and a wide ribbed waistband for that classic, flattering 1950s silhouette.
A particularly lovely example of mid-century cashmere knitwear, combining exceptional softness, beautiful detailing and timeless elegance.
