"YVES SAINT LAURENT" 90's-00's Mohair blend contrast trim long knit cardigan

Since its founding in 1961, YVES SAINT LAURENT has consistently offered women new beauty and possibilities by blending free-spirited sensibility with traditional elegance. We would like to introduce a standout piece characterized by its warm material choices and graceful silhouette.

Crafted from a softly textured knit fabric with a brown base, this piece features black trim running from the neckline to the front. By harmonizing a classic color palette with a refined design, it is finished in an elegant, fluid long silhouette.

The subdued camel-brown tone conveys cozy warmth typical of the fall and winter seasons, while the black edging beautifully sharpens the overall outline. The elegant contrast created by the soft feel of the materials and precise detailing is truly appealing.

The fabric is a blended knit combining wool, rayon, and nylon. With a fine, raised texture visible on the surface, you can enjoy the gentle, knit-like hand feel and the depth of expression that creates natural tonal shadows.

In addition, the knit has an appropriately substantial thickness and a texture that drapes flexibly along the body. As a result, even though it is a long length, it does not feel heavy, maintaining the light, airy impression that is characteristic of a cardigan—another point that makes it so attractive.

What particularly draws the eye is the black trim that continues from the neckline to the front. Carefully placed switching details along the curve of the collar give the soft brown fabric a clear definition, creating a polished impression while also presenting the face area more neatly.

The collar is adorned with a slender black ribbon; tying it at the center adds a lively, bow-tie-like charm, while letting it hang straight emphasizes vertical lines for a sharper, more mode-inspired atmosphere.

This kind of ribbon design features feminine ornamentation that also resonates with classic blouses. When paired with the soft knit material, it achieves an exquisite balance—bringing a touch of glamour while naturally fitting into everyday styling.

Black trim is also applied to the cuffs, just like at the collar, creating a cohesive design from the body to the sleeve hems. The overlapping of brown and black formed when lightly folding the sleeves brings a classical expression to your hands as well.

The silhouette is a long length that gently widens from the shoulders to the hem. While providing room that envelops the body, the softness of the knit that naturally falls toward the hem forms a clean, vertical line.

This piece is thought to date from the 1990s to the early 2000s. In addition to the brand tag of Yves Saint Laurent, the quality labeling from FUKUSUKE CO., LTD. can be seen, which is typically found on domestic products from that time. This allows you to appreciate the background of this Sun Laurent knitwear that was offered for the Japanese market.

For styling, pairing it with simple blouses and wide slacks will create a classic and refined look true to Saint Laurent. Alternatively, combining it with a long skirt or a one-piece dress lets you enjoy an elegant style in which the soft knit texture and graceful silhouette harmonize beautifully.

Furthermore, by wearing it with a shirt and trousers with center creases, and letting the ribbon at the neckline fall as it is, you can create a sharp impression with sweetness toned down. This makes it a recommended standout for those who want to incorporate a mode sensibility within classic beauty.

Please take this opportunity.
