Liz Claiborne Open-Front Ribbed Knit Cardigan in Dusty Rose
Liz Claiborne · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Sweaters > Cardigans
Era / Decade
Modern (2010s-2020s); likely a JCPenney era piece based on the modern sans-serif white label.
Material
Likely a Cotton/Acrylic or Rayon/Nylon blend. The fine-gauge knit has a smooth, slightly sheen finish indicative of a synthetic performance blend common in modern mass-market apparel.
Condition
Fair to Good. Note visible material distress on the upper left shoulder area (facing the image) which appears to be a snag or significant pilling/pulling of the knit fabric.
Demand Level
Moderate. Cardigans are steady sellers for office wear, but the Liz Claiborne brand is saturated on the resale market, keeping demand stable but prices low.
Resale Value
Estimated Resale Value
$12.00 - $18.00
Estimated Retail Value
$44.00 - $60.00
Comparable Sales
Recent sold listings for Liz Claiborne cardigans in similar condition typically range from $10 to $22 on platforms like eBay and Poshmark, with used items often bundled to save on shipping.
Description
This Liz Claiborne open-front cardigan comes in a versatile dusty rose/mauve hue. It features a sophisticated mix of vertical and horizontal ribbing patterns that create a flattering, structured drape. The lightweight knit and collarless design make it an ideal layering piece for business casual or everyday wear. Long sleeves with ribbed cuffs and a mid-thigh length (XL size).
Key Features
Open-front 'flyaway' styling; versatile mauve color; textured ribbed detailing; size XL (inclusive sizing); recognized legacy brand name.
Authenticity Indicators
High confidence. Correct 'Liz Claiborne' brand font and sizing tag found in retail versions sold through JCPenney. The stitching on the label is consistent with mass-produced retail standards.
Flaws to Note
Significant 'pulling' or snagging on the upper shoulder/chest area which disrupts the horizontal ribbing; minor pilling under the arms is likely due to the knit type.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
Poshmark, Mercari, or eBay. These platforms are best for mid-range 'bread and butter' brands. It may also do well in a local 'Buy/Sell/Trade' store like Plato's Closet or Clothes Mentor if the damage can be minimized.
Selling Tips
Use keywords like 'Business Casual,' 'Mauve,' 'Open Front,' and 'Layering.' Focus photos on the texture of the knit. Be sure to provide a clear close-up of the snagged area to avoid returns/disputes. Best sold in early fall or spring during transitional weather.
