A charming 1980s black pullover sweater by Martini, made in Taiwan R.O.C. in 100%
acrylic, per the interior tag. The front features three satin-look bow appliqués
in red, green, and white, giving it a sweet graphic quality without tipping too 
far into costume.

The shape is classic and easy: crew neckline, long sleeves, ribbed cuffs and hem,
and a closer vintage fit. It has that playful 80s novelty sweater energy, but styled
with a sharp skirt, denim, or trousers, it feels very current and quietly cheeky.

Wear it with a pencil skirt and little heels, relaxed Levi’s and ballet flats, or
layered under a boxy jacket so the bows peek through. A cute one for anyone leaning
into coquette, retro prep, or art-school sweetness without going too precious.

Marked size Small. Shown on Dominique, who is 5’9″ and typically wears a modern 
high-fashion size 2/4, with a 32B bust, 25″ waist, and 37″ hips. On Dominique, this
has a fitted but not skin-tight vintage sweater fit. Best for a modern XS/S depending
on desired fit. Please compare measurements before purchasing.
