"CELINE" 90’s scottish cashmere v neck knit

Based on the understated elegance cultivated by the Parisian maison and the quietly functional minimalism that seamlessly blends into daily life, CELINE has continued to propose pieces that become the core of wardrobes across eras. Here, we introduce a masterpiece that highlights the exceptional quality of Scottish-made cashmere.

This masterpiece is designed to speak of quality solely through the density of the knit and its drape, without relying on brand logos.

First, it’s worth noting that, in addition to the smoothness unique to 100% cashmere, this piece’s resilient thickness, which differs from the lightweight current cashmere, is characteristic of Scottish knitwear made with a densely woven fabric, providing reassurance that the silhouette will not easily distort even after repeated wear.

The neckline is designed with a slightly deeper V, creating space around the neck that naturally allows for layering shirts or T-shirts. This balance, which keeps the face area looking clean without leaning too much toward sensuality, contributes to CELINE's characteristic neatness.

The shoulders feature a soft line prioritizing a relaxed drape, and the body width is not excessively oversized. The rationality of the actual measurements based on the chest size makes it easy to wear as a single piece or as an inner layer, regardless of gender, and it is attractive as a versatile staple for styling.

The ribbed hem and cuffs are designed to retain tension firmly, preventing the fabric from flowing loosely when worn, which maintains a refined silhouette. The subtle details aimed at beautifully showcasing the black surface are carefully executed.

The evidence that suggests it is from the mid to late 1990s includes the main label printed with "CELINE PARIS" in a clean font on a white background in a sans-serif style, which was the protocol at that time. Additionally, the style of indicating size as 102cm 40 based on actual chest measurement matches the traditional format of high-end Scottish knitwear. Furthermore, the woven tags "MADE IN SCOTLAND" and "100 PERCENT CASHMERE" indicate a production background before the shift of manufacturing countries in the 2000s, confirming its authenticity as physical information.

The value of this knit lies not only in its high-quality cashmere but also in its modest design that proves its quality without showcasing logos. It naturally aligns with the origins of minimalism discussed after Phoebe's era, making it especially recommended for those who want to quietly elevate their style or cultivate the core of their wardrobe over time.

Styling-wise, pairing with neat slacks or minimal skirts to highlight the beauty of the surface creates an elegant look, and layering a shirt or tie for a more classic touch keeps it from becoming too stiff. Inserting it inside a long coat or tailored piece creates a quiet tension characteristic of CELINE, making it a piece that naturally blends into daily life while maintaining a certain level of sophistication.

Take this opportunity.
