In season one, episode one (1.001, Traces to Nowhere) Audrey Horne meets Special Agent Cooper for the first time. She approaches his table, wearing a memorable vintage cardigan whose unique pattern consists of repeated and overlapping bare-branched trees.
I first came across a cardigan by the same manufacturer a few years ago on eBay. The color was not a match, and, unfortunately, the price went beyond my budget. However, I was thankful the opportunity provided the possibility to locate a possible match.
I was inspired to make this post after reading several comments about Audrey's cardigan while participating in a
Twin Peaks watch party hosted by
Twin Peaks Unwrapped.
Audrey's cardigan may be from a company called Darlene Knitwear, inc. It appears to have been made in the early '60s. The label says Minklam by Darlene. So far, I've seen Minklam by Darlene and Angelon by Darlene, which apparently were the names given to their particular fiber blends. The tags say they are 'hand-screen print'.
Laura of
Pineweaselfashionshow has also found a possible match from a brand by the name
Full Fashioned. She granted me permission to share an image of the tag from the sweater in her collection.
Designs are commonly copied. It is impossible to know which brand Ms. Horne is wearing as the sweaters outwardly appear identical as far as I can tell.
The following images are cardigans similar to Audrey's that were formally available on eBay and Etsy (courtesy of Google images and Pinterest):
