Purchase Protection & Refund Policy

Designed during the rare, highly collectible 2-year tenure of Alessandra Facchinetti immediately following Valentino Garavani's retirement. A true piece of fashion history. An absolute showstopper piece for luxury collectors. This is an authentic archival Valentino mainline heavy statement knit cardigan coat from the iconic Hiver (Winter) 2008 runway era. Beautiful, timeless cream/warm nude colorway with incredible drape. FEATURES: • Intricate 3D dimensional bobble/popcorn knit texture throughout the body and portrait collar. • Dramatic cowl collar with exaggerated slouchy dolman batwing sleeves and thick ribbed cuffs. • Corset-style wide ribbed baseline hem that highlights the waist beautifully. • Covered dome buttons individually hand-stitched with Valentino’s signature "V" monogram motif. • Made in Italy. FABRIC & WEIGHT: Premium heavyweight Italian blend: 80% Lana Vergine (Virgin Fleece Wool), 16% Nylon, 4% Elastodiene. Please note this is an incredibly substantial, heavy-gauge premium piece weighing approximately 1.3kg. It wears with the structure, weight, and warmth of a true knit jacket rather than a standard light sweater. AUTHENTICITY & CONDITION: Excellent vintage condition. The interior brand tags, winter collection label, and luxury fabric composition labels are all pristine and fully intact. Purchased secondhand, so no original boutique receipt is included. However, the premium construction and signature "V" monogram stitched buttons speak directly to its authenticity. In very good preloved condition, only selling as its not my colour but I couldnt resist it at the time! Open to sensible offers as this is a highly collectible piece.
