This is a vintage sweater and I am the original owner. Sweater is pre-loved and does have some thread pulls (primarily the gold) and a few loose sequins. The threads that attach the black "rope" have come undone in one spot (on the very end of the rope-please see last two photos for this flaw). I believe the end of the "rope" should be tucked into and through the sweater like the other end. Would be an easy fix to sew it down or just pull it thru the sweater and clip the threads. I will leave it up to the buyer as I might goof it up! Sweater has always been stored folded and never on a hanger. I am posting several Christmas/holiday sweaters so bundle and save! Same day shipping if purchased before 4pm (central time zone). No shipping on Sunday or holidays.
