Vintage 1950s Lord & Taylor Bermuda Knit Cardigan

This exquisite 1950s Bermuda-style cardigan, originally sold at the iconic Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue. A true reflection of mid-century sophistication, this piece blends classic tailoring with delicate feminine details.

Crafted from luxurious 100% Orlon acrylic, the knit is both soft and structured, offering that coveted tailored silhouette of the era. The waist-length cut and cuffed long sleeves create a polished, flattering fit that pairs effortlessly with high-waisted skirts or trousers.

The standout feature? Its original prong-set rhinestone buttons with luminous pearl centers—adding just the right touch of vintage glamour. (Please note: the fourth button is missing three very small rhinestones, a minor detail that does not detract from the overall beauty or wearability of the piece.)

Intricate embroidered accents trace the neckline, buttonholes, and sleeve cuffs, showcasing the thoughtful craftsmanship that defined 1950s fashion. The original Lord & Taylor Fifth Avenue label further enhances its authenticity and collectible appeal.

Whether styled for everyday elegance or a special vintage moment, this cardigan is a rare find that captures the charm and refinement of its time.
