Rare Vintage 1970s St. John Knits for Lillie Rubin Pointelle Polo Cardigan. This 1970s knit cardigan is a rare, documented collaboration between the master of American luxury knitwear, St. John Knits, and the high-end boutique retailer Lillie Rubin. Rendered in a breathtaking, vibrant coral-orange hue, it features St. John’s signature, heirloom-grade textured pointelle honeycomb knit. The tailored "lady jacket" silhouette is dramatized by a sharp retro polo collar and a full-length button-down front punctuated by heavy, high-quality crested gold hardware buttons.
Condition Report: Excellent Vintage Condition: Knit fibers are tightly woven, vibrant, and entirely free of pilling, snags, pulled threads, or stains.
