Vintage Y2K RAAM Black Zip Faux Fur Trim Cardigan Size L

There is a specific kind of confidence that only a faux fur collar can give you. RAAM Originals made this in the late 90s / early 2000s, when the formula was simple: take something cosy and make it dramatic. The ribbed knit zips up clean, the collar frames the face like it means it, and the cuffs — thick, plush, jet-black — arrive in a room before the rest of you does. It is equal parts Sabrina the Teenage Witch and early 2000s mall energy, and it has lost none of its nerve.

This cardigan moves across three aesthetics depending on how you wear it. For Whimsigoth, zip it halfway with the collar spread wide over a lace camisole, pair with a crushed velvet maxi skirt, platform Mary Janes, and a crystal pendant — pure late-90s dark romance. For Y2K Bratz, zip it to the top for a sleek mock-neck silhouette, add low-rise wide-leg cargos, platform knee-high boots, tinted frameless sunglasses, and a rhinestone belt — let the fur cuffs do the talking. Or go 90s Grunge Sleek: leave it completely unzipped over a white ribbed baby tee, black straight-leg leather pants, Doc Martens, and a black choker — minimal, moody, and exactly right.

About RAAM: RAAM (also labelled as RAAM Originals) is a quintessential vintage mass-market fashion label that was highly prominent throughout the 1980s and 1990s. Known for its hyper-textured, expressive knitwear — angora blends with pearl trim in the 80s, cable knits with botanical embroidery and patchwork in the 90s, and bold statement outerwear at the turn of the millennium — RAAM holds an important place in nostalgic fashion history.
