Vintage 80s Casaveen Pink Pure New Wool Cardigan (Made in Tasmania) Size M
Details
There are cardigans, and then there are Casaveen cardigans. This gorgeous vintage piece — made in Oatlands, Tasmania from pure new wool — is the kind of quality that simply isn’t made anymore. A bold, bright fuchsia pink in colour — the kind of shade that never needs an occasion — it has that satisfying weight that only real wool delivers: the kind that keeps you genuinely warm without bulk, and gets better with every wear. An intricate cable-knit construction with alternating textured stitch panels gives the fabric real depth and character, while the high crewneck and thick ribbed trim at the collar, cuffs, and hem keep it structured and timeless. Five round gold-toned dome buttons — each stamped with “Casaveen Fine Woollen Wear” — are a lovely period detail that elevate it beyond your average vintage find. As a true transeasonal wardrobe staple, a great cardigan earns its place year-round — a layer in summer, a standalone in autumn, and a cosy essential through winter. Wear it unbuttoned over your favourite jeans and a white tee, or throw it on over a sundress when the temperature drops — that fuchsia does the heavy lifting either way.
