Hi there. I wondered if anyone would have some information on a pair of amazing culottes I found. Vintage Benetton. The print depicts a scene of people, transportation and hats and I thought I’d ask if anyone may be able to shed some light on it. It’s amazing and I can’t find anything on the internet. I think judging by the label it is early Benetton. Possibly 70s. I’ve added some pictures. Thank you so much in advance.

Really fab print! If 80s, it's early 80s.
Have you checked whether there is any selvedge that might have some printed information?

Thank you so much. Sorry I am new to this. I’m not sure what Selvedge is??
The edge of fabric in a roll is called the selvedge. In a print there's usually half an inch or so of mostly unprinted edge, and sometimes you find text there, telling you about the print, eg a copy right notice, country of origin, designer, sometimes even the print name. Occasionally you find selvedge in the seams of a garment, but often not. So it's just worth a hunt through the seams and hems to see if you can find a clue.
