Ralph Lauren Collection Fall 2010 Hand Knit Black Alpaca Pointelle Turtleneck

Somewhere between the velvet hush of an Aspen chalet and the quiet confidence of Fifth Avenue, there exists a sweater. But not just any sweater—and it doesn’t whisper luxury; it purrs it. Hand-knit from a cloud-soft blend of 77% Alpaca, 16% Cashmere, and 7% Wool, this rare Ralph Lauren Collection turtleneck is less of a garment and more of an experience. The intricate scalloped pointelle design? It wasn’t just knitted—it was sculpted. By hands. Real ones. Likely attached to someone with a great deal of patience and a roaring fire nearby. The silhouette hugs just enough, with elongated sleeves and that signature ribbed trim—a wink to the heritage of equestrian ease, but make it heiress. The open-weight weave? Perfect for layering over sheer silk or under a long, sweeping coat as you exit your countryside estate in the French Alps and duck into a vintage Defender for a pre-dawn foxhunt (no foxes harmed, just tradition observed). Worn on the Fall 2010 runway, this turtleneck stole the show layered under a wide leather belt and flanked by riding boots and fierce independence. The look was part Lauren Bacall, part mountain mystic, and 100% unstoppable. Dry clean only. Unless you have a castle staff. Then, by all means. Gently worn.
