This beautiful knit sweater features a dramatic, oversized batwing and dolman sleeve silhouette that perfectly captures the iconic 80s fashion aesthetic.

The front showcases a massive, intricate knit floral lily motif in rich burgundy, brown, ochre, and green tones, making it a stunning statement piece. The back features a clean, textured red and brown melange weave.
Special luxury design details include contrast red fabric-trimmed cuffs finished with elegant metallic designer buttons. It perfectly fits into the current trends of maximalism, dark academia, and high-end streetwear.
