Wrapped in Rubies Vintage Angora Cardigan

This cardigan is pure wearable art. Crafted in a rich tomato-red hue, the body is knit in a classic sweater construction while the sleeves steal the spotlight — fully angora, exaggerated in volume, and lavishly adorned with jewel-toned stones in varying shapes, sizes, and colors. Some are encased in gold-tone settings, others scattered freely, creating the effect of being truly wrapped in rubies.

Black rope-style embroidery scrolls along the sleeves and reappears across the body, tying into the striking open web-style stitching that runs down the center back and diagonally along the front. The back is further elevated with black-and-gold scroll embroidery at the shoulders and waist, where subtle shaping creates a beautifully feminine, cinched effect.

An elegant V-neckline and oversized ornate gold buttons finish the front, adding to the old-world glamour and collector-level appeal. Styled here over a black knit top with high-waisted barrel-leg jeans and black heeled boots, this piece proves that true statement layers don’t need much else to shine.

This is one of those rare vintage finds you don’t come across often — an investment piece meant to be worn, admired, and remembered.
