Vintage 1960s-1970s Ivory Beaded Cardigan

This 1960s–1970s ivory beaded cardigan captures the delicate glamour of mid-century eveningwear. Likely made in Hong Kong, a hub for finely detailed, hand-embellished garments of the era, this cardigan reflects the craftsmanship and ornate styling that defined the period.

Rendered in a soft ivory knit (assumed acrylic with a smooth polyester lining), the piece is beautifully adorned with a floral embroidered motif. Intricate white glass beads and luminous faux pearls trace the placket, hemline, and cuffs, creating a subtle shimmer that catches the light with every movement. The hook-and-eye front closure allows for a clean, seamless silhouette, whether worn open or fastened.

Marked only with a vintage size “40” tag, this cardigan offers a versatile, slightly tailored fit that layers effortlessly over dresses or blouses.
