Vanessa Grey Knitwear Designer Collection
This very special and luxurious mohair jacket is one of my own creations, having been hand-made in England in 1989 - designed, made (and modelled) by ... my Grand Daughter!*
It has never been worn and is therefore in beautiful, brand new condition. It once retailed at around £300 (and I haven't allowed for inflation!)
*(In my former life as a designer and manufacturer of ladies knitwear, I once ran a successful business and had my own factory in Stockport, Cheshire. 'Vanessa Grey' garments have sold all over the world in the very best ladies boutiques and department stores. Sadly, those days are long gone, and I no longer make my knitwear range; however this is an exclusive opportunity to acquire one of the few garments that I still retain in my stock.)
This particular jacket is named:
"Teddy"
The Finer Details
The yarn is a classic mix of 78% luxury mohair, 13% pure new wool, and 9% stabilizing nylon.
Like all my jackets and cardigans, it is lined in a high quality, heavyweight satin.
Since this was an '80s' design (now very much in vogue - what goes around comes around!), the jacket has shoulder pads, and big, puffy sleeves, drawn up to my own design.
On the front and back of the garment are applique satin teddy bears with ballons, embellished with satin ribbons.
The curved front sides sweep down in a sensuous design.
This sweet, ivory white, jacket is very warm, mohair itself being a very cosy yarn. Light to wear, the natural fibres insulate, and yet you would not overheat if you wore the jacket on a chilly evening at any time of the year.
Ideal for a Teddy Bears Picnic.
