Bold, glamorous, and unmistakably 80s — this statement sweater by British knitwear brand Tricoville is a genuine vintage showstopper.
Crafted in a luxuriously soft blend of lambswool and angora, this sweater has the beautiful fuzzy halo that natural fiber lovers seek out. The front features an eye-catching panel of black sequins arranged in a bold geometric motif, framed by woven black ribbon trim. The sleeves are accented with wide black knit stripes, and a dramatic deep V open back — fastened at the neckline with a single faceted black jet-style bead button — makes this just as striking from behind as the front.

The overall aesthetic sits squarely in the power-dressing meets disco territory that defined early-to-mid 1980s fashion, when sequins moved off the dance floor and into everyday wardrobes. Tricoville was a well-regarded British knitwear label popular throughout the 70s and 80s, known for quality construction and on-trend embellishment. This piece is a great example of their work.
