Description
Model History:
This cardigan continues Gucci’s stylistic tradition of constantly revisiting iconic Gucci elements. The Web braid, originally inspired by equestrian straps, was introduced in the 1950s and has become a hallmark of the Italian brand. The presence of the monogram in embroidery evokes the visual heritage of Gucci, which in the 1970s and 80s reinforced its signature with graphic plays on letters. This model reflects Gucci’s evolution towards a wardrobe that is both heritage and contemporary, blending classic allusions with modern touches in an assertive preppy spirit.
Exterior details:
The white mesh has a dense but supple texture, pleasant to the touch and structured without rigidity. The vertical tricolor braid contrasts sharply with the neutral background, reinforcing the legibility of the piece. Polished-effect gold buttons line the center, catching the light without ostentation. The two patch pockets are discreetly integrated at the bottom of the cardigan. The cuffs and hem are lightly elasticated, maintaining a snug, comfortable fit.
Interior Details:
The inside of the cardigan features no lining, in keeping with the construction of the knit pieces. The seams are clean and regular, reinforcing the garment’s durability. The inner label embroidered on the collar bears witness to the authenticity of the House of Gucci, with the country of manufacture mentioned.
Product Condition:
The cardigan is in very good vintage condition, with no snags or fading. The knit remains dense and supple, the seams are intact, and the logo embroidery well preserved. Buttons show no scratches or oxidation, and braid colors are bright. There are no noticeable signs of wear, making this a well-preserved piece.
Care instructions:
Handwash cold or dry clean to preserve the texture of the knit and the brilliance of the embroidery. Avoid tumble-drying and direct ironing on embroidered areas. Store the cardigan flat to avoid shoulder deformation, and away from direct light to prevent yellowing.
