1980s Wool & Alpaca Blend Turtleneck with Embroidered Folk Motif - L

vintage turtleneck sweater from Italy that perfectly captures the artisanal spirit of 1980s knitwear design. This luxurious piece is crafted from a sumptuous wool and alpaca blend in a beautiful oatmeal heather tone, flecked throughout with charming multicolored neps that add visual texture and rustic appeal. The sweater features an elegant turtleneck collar and relaxed fit that epitomizes comfortable luxury. The centerpiece is a striking embroidered folkloric motif on the front - an ornate symmetrical design in sage green that resembles stylized acanthus leaves or baroque scrollwork, evoking European folk art traditions. Intricate cable knit panels frame the embroidered design and continue down the sleeves, showcasing the exceptional Italian craftsmanship. The natural fiber blend provides incredible softness and warmth while the neutral palette with its subtle color flecks makes this piece endlessly versatile. This is sophisticated knitwear that bridges the gap between casual comfort and artistic expression.
