Fishers, listen up — we just reeled in a truly one-of-a-kind collection of vintage Blue Fish / Barclay clothing and accessories from the personal collection and estate of Kay Sorensen. Kay Sorensen was a well-known quilter and crafter in the Blue Fish and quilting communities. Based on correspondence, notes, and designs we’ve uncovered, it appears she may have contributed to the style or inspiration of some of these pieces. Barclay, the creative foundation that led to Blue Fish’s signature artistic style, represents an early chapter in this beloved brand’s evolution. While there’s no absolute guarantee, the evidence suggests these items are incredibly special and unique. These are truly collectible pieces you won’t find anywhere else. Follow now and secure your favorites before another collector swims off with your dream piece.

Details You Didn’t Know You Needed:

* Vintage Blue Fish Barclay cardigan in a rich earthy brown

* Beautiful colorful patch details, including floral and small accent patches

* Open-front lagenlook shape with relaxed drape and asymmetrical hem

* Ruffled/lettuce-style edge trim gives it that unmistakable Blue Fish artsy weirdness

* Perfect for art fairs, coffee runs, or looking like you own the only good cardigan in a room full of sad beige sweaters

Condition

Good vintage preowned condition. READ: there is a minor hole/break near the collar area, shown in photos, and it appears to be an easy fix for someone who sews. No other major flaws noted from the provided photo. Patches present beautifully, fabric has nice drape, and the cardigan still has plenty of collectible Blue Fish charm. Basically, it needs a tiny collar intervention, not a full fashion rescue mission.

This Blue Fish Barclay cardigan is pure cozy art-to-wear mischief. The soft brown fabric gives it an earthy, grounded look, while the colorful patchwork details add that signature Blue Fish personality collectors chase like caffeinated treasure goblins. It is relaxed, unusual, and exactly the kind of layer that makes a plain outfit suddenly look like it has a backstory.

The open-front cut makes it easy to throw over tanks, dresses, tunics, or wide-leg pants, while the asymmetrical hem and ruffled edge keep the silhouette interesting without crossing into “I lost a fight with a craft closet” territory. It has a noted collar flaw, but the overall look is still strong, wearable, and wonderfully collectible.
