The Manufacturer

Huntington Ridge is a vintage brand known for its handknit sweaters and cardigans. The company is noted for its high-quality, intricate knit designs, often featuring floral patterns and vibrant colors. Manufacturing in Korea, Huntington Ridge gained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s, offering unique and stylish knitwear that appealed to a wide audience.

The Piece

The handknit floral sweater in question is a pink and white colorway made by Huntington Ridge. This particular piece reflects the brand's signature style, combining comfort with a visually appealing floral pattern. Handknit garments from Huntington Ridge are valued for their craftsmanship and detailed design, making them collectible vintage items today.

The Style

Floral sweaters, especially handknit ones, became popular in the 1980s and 1990s. During this period, there was a resurgence of interest in vintage and handmade clothing, driven by a desire for unique, one-of-a-kind pieces. Floral patterns added a touch of femininity and elegance, making such sweaters a fashionable choice for casual and semi-formal wear. The use of bright colors and bold patterns was also a hallmark of this era, reflecting the broader trends in fashion at the time.

The Features

  • Material: Handknit, likely using acrylic or a blend of fibers for durability and softness.
  • Design: Pink and white colorway with a floral pattern, indicative of the intricate designs Huntington Ridge is known for.
  • Origin: Made in Korea, which was a hub for quality knitwear production during the brand's peak years.
  • Fit: Typically, these sweaters are designed to be slightly oversized, providing a comfortable and cozy fit.

 

What Makes it Vintage?

  • Made in Korea

Korea began rapidly industrializing in the 1960s, leading to US clothing importation coming primarily from Korea and Hong Kong until the 1980s. The shift away from Korean-made clothes to China, India, and Taiwan was not until this time. The more modern clothes from South Korea are known for their quality and style as well—Korean fashion brands use high-quality fabrics and clean cuts to balance vintage and modern styles.

  • Handknit

Hardly any clothes were handknit after the 70s and 80s due to manufacturing improvements, so handknit clothes indicate an early manufacturing date and high quality.

  • Embroidered Tag

Embroidered tags have become a trademark of vintage pieces since companies began to print tags in order to cut costs in the 80s and 90s.

 

Each of our vintage pieces comes with a handwritten, customized, and strung card-stock tag of the piece's background and vintage appeal.
