A truly special mid-century piece, this vintage 1950s cardigan by B. Altman & Co. Fifth Avenue New York showcases exquisite floral embroidery on a soft ivory knit. Delicate flowers in shades of pink, blue, lavender, yellow, and purple wind gracefully along the front placket, cuffs, hem, and neckline, creating a beautifully feminine garden-inspired design.

Fabric-covered buttons add an elegant finishing touch, while the luxurious blend of lambswool and angora gives the sweater a soft, cozy feel. This is the kind of heirloom-quality vintage knitwear that collectors and cottagecore enthusiasts seek out, equally lovely paired with skirts, dresses, or denim.

Refunds and Exchanges:
All sales are final. For our clothing items, you will not be refunded if an item does not fit. Please check the measurements carefully. As our items are antique and vintage, please zoom into photographs to view details, and ask any questions prior to purchase.

Vintage and Antique Items:
All inventory is pre-owned vintage, antique or artisan pieces. These pieces may be unique and hold marks of their previous lives. For instance, we sell many brass or silver pieces and they may show some tarnishing or patina. We do not polish the pieces as we personally love the aging, as many do! We leave it up to the new owner and their preferences for aiming to remove or not. Our goal is to provide accurate descriptions for every listing, with detailed photographs and notations of imperfections. Please review descriptions and photographs before purchasing. If you have any concerns or issues, please contact us so that we may address them and do our best to meet your needs.
