This is an exquisite original 1950s jumper by the prestigious Scottish knitwear house Pringle of Scotland, beautifully crafted from 100% pure cashmere of exceptional softness and quality.
This wonderfully elegant piece comes in a sophisticated dark shade somewhere between dark charcoal grey and deep forest green, a subtle and unusual colour that changes beautifully depending on the light.
Featuring a classic high crew neckline, short sleeves and a beautifully fitted silhouette, the sweater is finished with a wide ribbed waistband that gently defines the waist, creating the unmistakably feminine shape of 1950s knitwear.
The exceptionally fine cashmere has a wonderfully soft, luxurious texture, offering both warmth and lightness. Its beautifully understated design makes it a timeless and versatile piece, equally lovely worn with a full 1950s skirt or tailored trousers.
Founded in Scotland in 1815, Pringle became internationally celebrated for its luxurious knitwear and exceptional craftsmanship, with its vintage cashmere pieces remaining particularly desirable today.
A beautiful example of authentic 1950s Scottish luxury knitwear, combining superb quality, timeless elegance and the unmistakable charm of mid-century fashion.
