A Vintage "Razook's" Cashmere Sweater Embroidered with Florals
Item Details
A very posh ladies vintage sweater with a label reading ’Razook’s Plaza Hotel New York’. The buttery cream colored sweater is not labeled but certainly feels like a cashmere blend with ivory satin edging and seven satin covered buttons down the front. The sweat is short and boxy in style with 3/4 length sleeves and a simple rounded neckline. Of course what sets this sweater apart is the incredible floral embroidery at the front, across the back and even at the edge of the sleeves illustrating red tulips, dainty blue forget-me-knots, yellow tulips and tiny pink flowers. The tailoring is impeccable, the sweater is fully lined and even has vents at each side. Razook’s clothing was also sold in Palm Beach, at the Lake Placid Club and Pinehurst.
An article in the Palm Beach Daily News from 1962 stated ‘Razooks is identified with important designers from Europe and America, for example, Galanos, Scaasi, Norman Norell and others.’
