VPOD: Vintage Edwardian Crochet Jacket


Vintage Irish Crochet Sweater 1Vintage Irish Crochet Sweater Front

I suspect that I’ll never be able to enjoy a masterpiece by Pablo Picasso or Gustav Klimt or Willem de Kooning hanging on my wall. After all, these artist’s pieces are among the most expensive pieces of art ever sold (and I’m talking upwards of $130 million). But fortunately art is in the eye of the beholder. And there is art to be found in fashion, too.

Now I’m not talking about strategically torn jeans or limited edition t-shirt designs. I’m talking about the type of artistry and craft displayed in an heirloom like today’s VPOD. This Edwardian Irish crochet jacket is a true antique–over 100 years old. Just take a peek at its outstanding workmanship, condition and beauty.

It’s a stunning piece of wearable textile art for a vintage fashionista!
