Vintage ecru sleeveless vest with sherpa lining – Sizes 8 to 12 (UK) / 38 to 42 (EU) – 1970s
A lovely vintage 70s sleeveless vest with a countryside spirit and authentic charm. Its ecru hue, straight cut, and sherpa-style inner lining give it a soft, cozy feel. Comfortable and easy to layer, it can be worn open over a thin sweater, a shirt, or a dress to create pretty boho and cottagecore-inspired outfits.
A piece full of character, ideal for adding a retro touch to chilly days.

A word from Ginette
I imagine it with high-waisted jeans, a little turtleneck, and ankle boots for a lovely 70s retro silhouette. But it would be just as charming over a long floral dress for a more romantic spirit. I especially love its super soft lining and its old-fashioned countryside feel.
