Vintage St. John by Marie Gray Chevron Sequin Knit Sweater

Bobby never walked into a room. She arrived. This sweater understands the difference.

This is a St. John by Marie Gray.

There is a reason vintage collectors search specifically for this label. Marie Gray co-founded St. John Knits in 1962, and pieces bearing her name represent the founding era of one of America's most revered luxury knitwear houses — worn by First Ladies, Hollywood icons, and women of impeccable taste across decades. The "St. John by Marie Gray" label is the original. The one collectors hunt for. The one that commands the room.

And this one has sequins.

The body is St. John's signature fine knit — rendered here in a bold, graphic pink and black chevron zigzag that moves across the entire sweater in electric, undeniable waves. Hot pink meets deep black in a pattern that is at once classic and completely alive. But layered over every inch — from neckline to hem, shoulder to cuff — thousands upon thousands of flat silver sequins, applied so densely that the sweater shimmers and shifts with every movement like a mirror catching light.

A small decorative black bow detail finishes the left shoulder neckline. A finishing touch so perfectly considered it could only come from a house that has been thinking about elegance since 1962.

There is no size tag remaining, but this sweater fits an XS–S frame beautifully. There is no fabric tag remaining — the hand of the knit speaks for itself, as all St. John does.

Wear this with black trousers and let it be the entire outfit. Wear it with a pencil skirt for a cocktail moment that will be remembered. Wear it exactly the way Bobby would have — with complete confidence and not a single apology.

Bobby knew the difference between a sweater and a St. John. This is founding-era Marie Gray with sequins. There is nothing more to say.
