A seriously good vintage crochet poncho in a brilliant combination of golden yellow, orange and muted green. Handmade in chunky crochet with wide horizontal stripes, it has a high ribbed roll neck and an oversized poncho shape finished with long, multicoloured fringe. The colour combination and generous proportions feel straight out of the 1970s, and it looks particularly good thrown over simple denim.

Condition Very good vintage condition. The crochet is generally strong and intact with some minor signs of age and wear consistent with a handmade vintage piece. The fringe has its naturally uneven, handmade finish.
Why We Love It The colours are everything. It’s the kind of piece that does all the work for you -throw it over jeans, boots and a simple top and you’re done. Especially good for adding some colour to an otherwise very straightforward outfit.
