1980s | Handknit Floral Knit Cardigan | Mauve And Cream - One size

Description:

Item: Original 1980s handknit cardigan in a soft mauve tone with cream contrast collar and sleeve trims, finished with sweet embroidered daisy motifs to the front. Open-front design with a short-sleeved cut and a neat slightly cropped shape, giving it that easy handmade 80s silhouette.

Era: 1980s

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

Provenance Note: This is a really lovely handmade piece, soft in tone and full of personality. The daisy motifs give it that cheerful folk-art feel people are always drawn to, while the open-front shape keeps it easy to throw on over simple outfits. A sweet, wearable vintage knit with real handmade charm.

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.
