Apt. 9 (Kohl's private label) · Clothing & Accessories > Women's Tops & Blouses
Era / Decade
2000s (Y2K era, circa 2004-2008), evidenced by the distressed all-over graphic print, script text typography, contrast overlock stitching, and brand tag style.
Material
Likely a cotton/polyester knit or stretch rayon blend with contrast gold/tan thread exposed stitching. Standard mid-tier fast-fashion material.
Condition
Good to Very Good pre-owned condition. Shows light wash wear and minor vintage fading, but no major tears, holes, or heavy staining visible.
