Hello, I have this beautiful sweater from Luisa Spagnoli. I checked the label resource and this one is not there. I"m hoping that someone can help me with the era and angora percentage if possible. The sweater has front darts and 3 shell buttons down back from the neck. The color is off in my pictures. It's actually more of a dark, rose pink.
You can grab the label if you want or would it be better to put it on the label thread?
I just previewed and noticed my toes. Please ignore lol.
Thank you

I found ads for Luisa Spagnoli angora sweaters from about 1955-1963. Your sweater looks more like the 1950s to me. I don't know how we could know the angora content without a label to tell us, but one Spagnoli ad said:

"Gorgeous, fluffy, luxurious Angoras ... the Italian kind that don't shed because they're blended with lamb's wool."

Spagnoli was an heiress to the Perugina chocolate family, but was murdered in 1977.
 
Thanks Ikranieri. I hadn't found the ads but had read the other info. It probably is a blend with a higher percentage of angora.
