Christian Dior 90’s jewel-button knit cardigan

From Christian Dior, which has continued to speak of elegance through silhouette and material quality since its founding, we introduce a piece that will also refine everyday gestures with impeccable elegance.

This masterpiece features a thick, charcoal-toned knit fabric with quietly striking jewelry-like gold buttons.

The neckline is a rounded crew neck, which prevents too much skin exposure, and when layered with a shirt or cut-and-sew, it sits neatly, making it versatile as both an outerwear and a standalone piece. The placket is designed to follow the vertical line naturally, and when buttoned, it makes the upper body look slender; when opened, it creates a soft drape, giving a gentle impression.

Most notably, the gold buttons with intricate engraving resembling jewelry attract attention without being overly decorative, making it easy to complete an outfit without layering accessories. The ribbing on the sleeves and hem prevents the outline from losing shape and ensures practicality, maintaining its form over many years.

As for the era, the domestic manufacturer code Y-TK 03 seen on the quality label is linked to Kanebo, which handled Christian Dior licensed knits at the time, and the tag design with the PRÊT-À-PORTER label was standard for licensed products from the late 80s to 90s. Furthermore, it aligns with the labeling trends before the integration of domestic systems in the 2000s, making it a highly credible piece from the 1990s.

Additionally, the careful knitting unique to domestic Japanese planning is evident, giving the impression that the ribbing resists stretching and pilling, so it possesses not only vintage romance but also the strength of everyday wear. The size is labeled L, and among the compact designs common in 90s licensed knits, it offers a comfortable fit, making it easy for those who want to wear it relaxedly in current styles.

In terms of styling, pairing it with a shirt and tidying up the collar creates a sharp, traditional look, and layering it over a dress adds a sense of balance to the upper body, resulting in a refined impression. For bottoms, creating vertical lines with slacks or long skirts makes the button's elegance stand out, and matching the texture with leather shoes or boots helps achieve an elegant and mode mood regardless of gender.

Definitely take this opportunity.
