Authentic Vintage Gianni Versace Pure Wool Cardigan Sweater
Up for sale is a stunning, highly collectible archive piece from the late 1980s / early 1990s era of Gianni Versace's lifetime.

Provenance & Authenticity Notes:
This piece features the iconic dual-market vintage tag from F.B.P. Italia S.p.A. (Filippo Fanti), the premier historical Italian textile contractor trusted to manufacture main-line premium knitwear for Gianni Versace. It also features the authentic Japanese boutique market import tag on the reverse, verifying its elite late-80s boutique origins.
Condition Note:
The sweater is in excellent structural vintage condition. The knit fabric, cuffs, and waist ribbing remain exceptionally tight with no major pulls or structural flaws. The gold-toned hardware maintains excellent shine and definition. Please note there is a minor, standard vintage storage smell from decades in archival safekeeping, which will easily clear out with a routine professional dry cleaning or fresh airing.
