VPOD: Feeling Blue



Since most of us will buy at least one new sweater this season, why not make it a work of art like today’s VPOD?

This mid-1950s cashmere cardigan is an infamous Helen Bond Carruthers design and super collectible.

An artistic genius from Versailles (Kentucky!), she produced outstanding decorated cashmere sweaters that were often worn by celebrities of the time.

A favorite theme was to decorate the sweaters with appliques cut from antique Chinese shawls. like today’s example in a bold royal blue. Since each shawl was unique, this produced one-of-a-kind sweaters as well.

A great addition to the collection of a vintage fashionista!

Available at Happy Birthday Mr. President Vintage.
