Vintage 1960s Turquoise Blue Fine Knit Button Front Cardigan - Size Medium

Vintage 1960s Turquoise Blue Fine Knit Button Front Cardigan

A gorgeous 1960s cardigan in the loveliest clear ice-blue shade. Made in a fine, lightweight knit with a simple round neckline, raglan sleeves and neat ribbed trims. The cardigan has a wonderfully clean, understated shape that feels just as wearable now as it would have done in the 1960s.

Finished with original pale buttons and a classic button-through front. The Richard Shops label is still present.

Why We Love It

The colour is everything, that slightly nostalgic powder-blue that makes even the simplest outfit feel considered. Wear it buttoned up with denim, or thrown over a dress when you want something soft and classic without looking too polished.
