J.Crew Collection Cashmere Mohair Hand Embroidered Moroccan Crewneck Sweater

A remarkable piece from J.Crew Collection’s 2013 Jenna Lyon’s era. This richly textured sweater was crafted from an exceptionally soft blend of 85% cashmere and 15% mohair, creating a lofty, luxurious hand, then finished with intricate 100% silk embroidery inspired by the complex geometry and saturated color of traditional Moroccan rugs. The dramatic midnight navy center is framed in deep oxblood burgundy and covered with dimensional silk needlework in ivory, wine, turquoise, green and burnt orange. According to J.Crew’s original description, the specialty silk thread was sourced from Japan and the embroidery was hand sewn by a master needle-worker—an extraordinary level of detail that makes this feel as much like wearable textile art as knitwear. Classic crew neckline with ribbed trim, long sleeves and an easy feminine silhouette. Beautiful worn simply with tailored trousers or denim, but equally striking layered over an ivory button-down with the cuffs turned back for that quintessential J.Crew Collection look. A standout example of the richly detailed, collectible pieces that defined this period of J.Crew—distinctive enough to anchor an outfit yet rendered in sophisticated autumnal colors that make it surprisingly versatile.
