This 1980s grape purple cardigan is feather-soft angora knit, so luxuriously smooth and fluffy. It's an oversized button-front sweater, with four-leaf velveteen flowers and cord soutache detailing the front with faux purple pearls. Definitely an 80s item with a 1950s throwback appeal. This knit cardigan has oval shoulder pads hidden inside the satin lining.
