St. John Collection Vintage Santana Knit Cardigan Late 1980s–Early 1990s

An authentic vintage St. John Collection cardigan crafted in the house’s iconic Santana knit, dating to the late 1980s–early 1990s. This piece exemplifies St. John’s golden era of American luxury knitwear — known for meticulous construction, elegant restraint, and garments designed to last decades. The soft ribbed knit drapes beautifully, finished with classic black contrast trim and signature St. John logo buttons, a hallmark detail of this period. This cardigan has been well loved and worn, consistent with its age, and presents as a true vintage piece rather than deadstock. Signs of wear are present but do not detract from the integrity, structure, or timeless appeal of the garment. After nearly 30+ years, it remains wearable, refined, and unmistakably St. John.   Brand: St. John Collection  Era: Late 1980s–Early 1990s   Knit: Santana knit (St. John proprietary knit)  Color: Soft blue with black contrast trim  Closure: Button front with signature logo buttons  Tags: Removed (common with vintage St. John; identified by construction and hardware) Condition: Good vintage condition. moderate wear consistent with age, including fabric softening and minor texture variation.
