a.n.a Open Front Boucle Cardigan with Metallic Trim
a.n.a (a new approach) - A JCPenney Private Label Brand · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Sweaters > Cardigans
Era / Decade
Circa 2018-2022. The modern tag design and "Woman" branding on the hangtag indicate recent JCPenney production.
Material
Likely a blend of Acrylic, Polyester, and Metallic fibers (Lurex). The boucle knit provides a nubby texture characteristic of synthetic blends.
Condition
New With Tags (NWT). The item appears unworn with original retail hangtags attached and no visible storage wear or pilling.
Demand Level
Moderate. Cardigans are a staple, but 'a.n.a' is a budget-friendly house brand without high collector resale value. Demand peaks in Autumn (Sept-Nov).
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $18.00 (Low-Mid range).
Estimated Retail Value
$44.00 - $54.00 (MSRP often fluctuates with JCPenney's frequent sales environment).
Comparable Sales
Recent solds for NWT a.n.a cardigans on Poshmark and eBay typically land between $10 and $20 plus shipping. Used versions often sell for under $10.
Description
NWT a.n.a Woman Open Front Cardigan. This stylish layer features a dark charcoal/olive boucle knit texture with subtle metallic thread trim along the collar, placket, and pockets. Design includes two front slip pockets and an easy, relaxed open-front silhouette. Perfect for work-wear or casual layering in cooler seasons.
Key Features
New With Tags (lower return risk for buyers), metallic trim detail, popular plus/woman sizing, and textured boucle finish which is excellent for Fall/Winter trends.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. The internal woven neck label matched with the cardboard hangtag is consistent with JCPenney's proprietary brand manufacturing. Not a high-risk brand for counterfeiting.
Flaws to Note
No structural or cosmetic flaws; however, boucle knits are prone to snagging if not handled carefully during shipping.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or eBay. These platforms are ideal for mid-range mass-market brands. Facebook Marketplace (local) is less ideal unless bundled.
Selling Tips
Highlight 'New With Tags' in the title. Use keywords like 'Boucle', 'Metallic', 'Cardigan', and 'Business Casual'. Take clear close-ups of the metallic trim and the size tag. Since this is a house brand, price it competitively to move quickly rather than holding for a high price.
