Archival Emilio Pucci Romeo e Giulietta Graphic Tank Top 80s Rare Figural Print Sculpture Cotton Ribbed Hem Made in Italy Size M
**The Prince of Prints: A Rare Figural Masterpiece**
**The Piece & Provenance:**
A rare opportunity to own a fragment of fashion history. Originating from Florence, Italy in the late 1970s / early 1980s, this sleeveless tank top by Emilio Pucci features the highly elusive "Romeo e Giulietta" motif. Departing from his signature geometric abstractions, this figural illustration of stylized turtle doves—symbolizing eternal love—showcases the whimsical, narrative side of the Florentine master. It features the integrated "Emilio" signature within the artwork and retains the original "Emilio Pucci s.r.l." woven label.
**Technical Mastery & Materiality:**
* **Sculpture Cotton:** Crafted from Pucci's proprietary "Sculpture Cotton," this garment offers a structured yet breathable silhouette. This high-grade textile was specifically engineered to hold the vibrancy of the pigments (a sophisticated palette of lavender, violet, and plum) and maintain its architectural form, making it a staple of 1980s Italian luxury resort wear.
* **Ribbed Detail:** The top is finished with a tonal, stretchy ribbed knit waistband, ensuring a comfortable fit and a beautiful silhouette that sits perfectly on the hips.
* **Label Authenticity:** The internal care tag confirms the full provenance: "Emilio Pucci s.r.l. - MADE IN ITALY", composition of "100% PURE COTTON - COTONE PURO", and lists the historic Florentine address "VIA DE' PUCCI - FLORENCE".
**Curator's Condition Report:**
* **Grade:** Good Vintage Condition.
* **Details:** As an authentic archival piece, it shows minor signs of its 40-year history. There is a slight softening of the fibers in the underarm area (two minor pin-sized), which is consistent with the age of Sculpture Cotton and does not detract from the breathtaking visual impact of the piece when worn. We have chosen to keep the garment in its original state to preserve its historical integrity and authentic deadstock feel.

A Note on Archival Fashion
Please keep in mind that these rare pieces have lived a past life. Minimal signs of wear or a natural patina are entirely normal and part of their unique history.
Care & Condition
I treat every garment with the utmost respect. Each piece is carefully hand-washed, steamed, or ozone-treated so it reaches you in beautiful, ready-to-wear condition. However, due to the age and nature of vintage textiles, a very faint vintage scent may occasionally linger.
Sizing & Fit
To showcase the intended drape and silhouette in our editorial photos, garments that are larger than the model may be subtly pinned. Please never rely on the photos alone for sizing; always use the detailed flat-lay measurements provided in the description to ensure a perfect fit.
Color Accuracy
We strive to capture the true essence of each garment, though slight color variations may occur depending on the lighting and your screen's calibration.
Boutique Policies
To ensure absolute fairness for all of our collectors, we operate strictly on a first-come, first-served basis. We do not accept reservations or higher bids on items that have already been sold. Additionally, as our prices reflect the rarity, authentication, and extensive restoration of each piece, they are strictly non-negotiable. Please take the time to review all measurements and details carefully before securing your piece.
