1980s Benetton Italian Cotton Sweater in Pastels Intarsia Stripe
In the prettiest of pastel shades, this vintage Benetton jumper takes me right back to seaside holidays in the 1980s. The relaxed, boxy shape is right on trend and looks great worn oversized or more fitted. The soft cotton, textured knit adds a cosy layer at any time of year.

Buying Vintage Don’t always believe the label ~ vintage sizes are not the same as modern sizes, they usually come up much smaller.

Care Advice Hand or machine wash on an easycare or delicate cycle using an eco-friendly laundry detergent. If using the machine, place inside a net laundry bag or pillowcase. Wash like colours together. Wash cold to keep colours bright and do not dry in direct sunlight as colours can fade.
