1980s | Amano | Made In Bolivia Knit Cardigan | Blue Multi - One size

Description:

Item: Original 1980s Amano knit cardigan made in Bolivia, in a rich blue ground with colourful patchwork-style motifs, geometric detailing and a woven house design to the front. Finished with a round neckline, button front and front patch pocket. Softly structured with an easy relaxed fit through the body, giving it that cosy, slightly boxy 80s handmade knit silhouette.

Era: 1980s

Brand: Amano

Condition: Very good vintage condition with good colour and strong overall presentation. Light, honest signs of age and wear consistent with a vintage handmade knit, adding character without detracting from the appeal of the piece.

Provenance Note: This is exactly the sort of 1980s knit people still look for, colourful, characterful and full of handmade charm. The Bolivian origin adds real appeal, and the patchwork-style motifs give it that warm, folk-art feel that makes these pieces so distinctive. A lovely statement cardigan with plenty of personality and an easy throw-on shape.

Condition Notes:

Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing

We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.

Sizing Notes:

Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.

Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:

UK 6 (30–31")

UK 8 (32–33")

UK 10 (34–35")

UK 12 (36–37")

UK 14 (38–39")

UK 16 (40–41")

UK 18 (42–43")

UK 20 (44–45")

For jackets, knitwear, sweaters, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
