Constructed from an exceptionally soft blend of 80% angora and 20% nylon, it transforms what could have been a simple cardigan into an unmistakable statement piece through its lavish use of genuine fur trim and dramatic silhouette.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"957\" data-end=\"1260\"\u003eSculptural silhouette created by shoulder pads, while rich black fur frames the entire front opening and cuffs.
