Rare 1980s probably handmade shirt by Franco Puji — Made in Italy

An exceptionally rare and collectible 1980s Snoopy / Peanuts shirt by Franco Puji, an Italian brand known for its artisanal approach and playful reinterpretations of American pop culture during the late 1970s–1980s.

The shirt features a striking all-over Snoopy and Peanuts gang print, capturing beloved characters such as Charlie Brown, Lucy, Linus, and Woodstock. The composition and color palette — cream base, burnt-orange collar, and deep blue lower band — evoke the graphic vibrancy of vintage American animation art, filtered through the lens of 1980s European fashion design.

The material feels like soft, natural cotton, with a texture that has aged beautifully over time. There are some minor stains and signs of use, consistent with age, but the overall condition remains great — wearable, collectible, and rich in character.

A comparable 1980s Peanuts polo shirt with a similar print design is sold for over 2,500 SEK (˜ $297) on eBay, highlighting the growing collector demand for original Peanuts apparel from this era.
