STORYBOOK - 1980s Vintage Wool Austrian Cardigan - Size S/M
Meet STORYBOOK—an enchanting vintage 1980s Austrian cardigan and a true fairytale treasure. Hand-knit in soft wool, he paints the scene of a countryside cottage, complete with blooming gardens, tall green trees, and a vivid red roof carried across front and back. His earthy hues and intricate embroidered details—sunflowers, blossoms, and winding garden paths—bring a pastoral dream to life. Wooden buttons lend rustic charm, while gently puffed shoulders add a tender touch of romance. Both cozy and artful, he is like wearing a story, imbued with the nostalgia of handmade care and the timeless magic of a cottage garden.
