Description: A moment to celebrate the sweaters of the 1950s and 1960s: Soft and softening, fitted and fitting, these beauties were designed to accentuate the positives with quality textiles, lining, beading, fur, notions and/or detailing simply not found in current sweaters or jumpers. So, in celebration of sweater girls, bullet bras, Lana Turner and full circle skirts, we present this quartet of beauties… 1950s/1960s Hong Kong Arts Co., Kowloon, Hong Kong most likely cashmere (I think) cardigan with copper, bronze and gunmetal beading, faux pearl buttons, zigzag placket and neckline beading. Lining is missing which illustrates just how well constructed and assembled this wounded beauty is. Discounted accordingly. Marked a size 40, Oh, vintage sizing! One tiny hole mended, minor bead loss at top button, minor pilling and wear. Again, lining is missing. It measures: Bust 34-36, Waist to 30, Shoulder to Shoulder 16, Sleeve Length 21, Length 23. Fur Dry Cleaned. The bagged shipping weight is 11 ounces.A note regarding vintage clothing: it is rarely perfect. It has history, was, most likely, lovingly worn and cared for and endured far more years than most of us - in most cases 70 to 100 plus years. We try to detail every imperfection, but some seam separations, discoloring and stains may escape us; however we strive to repair and clean these wonderful designs from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and 60s ( I rarely dabble in post 1970 clothing). If you want perfect, I suggest you look elsewhere for newer clothing. If you want wonderful echoes of past designs and their attention to detail, we may have items that will appeal to you. Most of our listings, if not new, are repaired or mended to the best of our abilities and noted within the description. Most vintage items are professionally dry cleaned or laundered by an eco-friendly green on premises cleaner. As a result, listings prices often reflect this worthwhile investment in these garments. Their history warrants nothing less. Combining shipping charges is always our pleasure. With multiple wins or purchases, please await an invoice reflecting your discounted shipping. Sold AS IS with No Returns. Smoke and Pet-Free Environment.
