80s Vintage Express Handknit Mauve Rose Sweater

Beautiful oversized V-neck cardigan with mixed knit patterns, including cable knit and popcorn texture. It is very substantial, heavy, and cozy. Sweater does have two shoulder pads that are easy to remove by snipping them off. Condition: Sweater is likely from the 80's and is in very good vintage condition with only a fine pilling of the fibers close to weave. See final two close up photos to get a sense of the texture of the fibers. There is also a one-inch lightened patch near the bottom of one sleeve.
