A cable-knit swimsuit. Cole of California has brought knitwear to a place knitwear might not have expected to go.

This original 1970s advertisement promotes the “Love Suit,” described in the copy as a “Sweater Girl” style. It’s a fun piece of swimwear history for a dressing room or fashion collection. The design is the interest here, particularly if you enjoy the moment when a clothing company asks whether two separate wardrobe categories could become one.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 10 × 12.5 inches; portrait orientation.
• Approximate date: 1970s.

Condition: Vintage page with mild age toning and light edge wear; inspect photos for details. The exact page pictured is the one you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
