This stunning vintage black beaded cardigan sweater from China Art Embroidery Co. is a rare find from the 1950s (maybe 60s?) The intricate beadwork adds a touch of glamour that is perfect for a cocktail occasion… or any occasion really! The sweater is made of what appears to be cashmere, making it incredibly soft and comfortable to wear. There is no materials or size tag, but feels like cashmere. Maybe a soft wool blend? From my research it seems most likely to be cashmere.

The sweater would fit a women’s large. Please see photos for measurements to ensure fit. The shoulder to hem measurement is 21". This original piece is from Hong Kong and has a look that is both timeless and elegant. Perfect for any vintage clothing enthusiast, this sweater is sure to turn heads.

Lined on body, unlined sleeves.

Rockabilly glam.

Excellent condition! No holes, tears, stains.

The front closure is all hook and eye. Some seem slightly loose and could use a touch-up of sewing to reinforce.

Bead work is on front, back, and both sleeves.

This gorgeous sweater is truly a work of art!!

Made in Hong Kong.
