Vintage Jumpers for Women

Vintage jumpers and cardigans for women: wool, mohair and Nordic knits from labels such as Dale of Norway and Etro. One of a kind, carefully checked.

Vintage knitwear for women

A vintage jumper is often made from materials that are increasingly rare in new clothing: wool, mohair, alpaca or cashmere. Here you'll find jumpers and cardigans from different decades, from chunky winter knits to fine cardigans. Every piece is one of a kind and checked by hand.

Nordic jumpers and classic patterns

Knitwear with traditional patterns never goes out of favour. You'll sometimes find jumpers from Norwegian makers such as Dale of Norway, alongside bolder pieces from fashion houses like Etro.

What we look for

With knitwear we pay extra attention to pilling, small holes and the shape of cuffs and hems. Any signs of wear are described honestly on the product page.

How to wear it

Layer a warm jumper over a vintage blouse or pair it with vintage jeans. You'll find more in all women's vintage clothing.

Jumpers and cardigans

Alongside jumpers you'll find cardigans, roll necks and knitted tops. A chunky knit is perfect for cold days, while a fine cardigan works year-round over a dress or blouse. We list the material of every piece as far as the label tells us, so you know whether you're buying wool, cotton or a blend. That way you can choose knitwear that suits the season and how warm you want to be.

Wool, mohair or cashmere?

Lambswool is warm and sturdy, mohair is airy with a soft, fluffy sheen and cashmere feels the softest of all. Cotton knits are lovely for spring. Older wool jumpers are often more densely knitted than many modern ones, so they hold their shape for a long time. Store knitwear folded rather than on a hanger, so the shoulders don't stretch.

Frequently asked questions

How do I wash a vintage wool jumper?

Hand wash wool or use a wool cycle with cold water and a wool detergent. Dry it flat so it keeps its shape.

How do vintage jumpers fit?

Knitwear can stretch or shrink slightly over the years. That's why we measure every jumper ourselves and list the measurements on the product page. Also see our size guide.
