This lovely vintage 90 CM silk cashmere was my retail therapy after my mom died two weeks ago. USPS delivered it... I got the delivery confirmation and it wasn’t my signature and I was afraid it was gone.

Thanks to the magic of GPS and @BeenBurned guidance on asking the local Usps where they delivered.... package was at a similar street 1/2 a mile away so my dad and I went off on an adventure and here she is!

I think this is from the 1990s. Anyone know the year? I have loved this design for a long time and happy to have it in my collection and now a memory in honor of my mom and an adventure with my dad.

thank you whymrbabcock. We were lucky to have my siblings and two doctors in the family to get through the last few months with mom. I don’t know how people do it without that level of support.

Now trying to work through it. Hugs!

I'm sorry to hear your loss !! Glad your Dad joined you in the hunt for this lovely design. I must confess that I prefer designs from many seasons ago. Seems that they have more story behind it than the contemporary ones.

I agree - Hoping for a neutral Gloire de Guillaume at some point!
