And finally ‘Calluna Boucle’ any ideas about dates?

[Impey]

Last up is this lovely cream cap sleeve top with ‘wave’ embellishment. I’d love to know more about ‘Calluna’ and the date if anyone has any ideas?

this came from the same source as the lurex pieces / ma cherie cardigan, but could date from any entirely different era!

no labels beyond branding so any help would be much appreciated

with thanks

The lurex used in the label would eliminate a date prior to 1953. It's invented 1946, but it doesn't get used commercially until 1953.

Thanks Jonathan - I hadn’t even noticed the lurex in the label! I was thinking 60s or 70s based on a very slight shimmer in the fabric - maybe 60s just because there is absolutely nothing in the way of care guidance or composition!
