This vintage 1960s beaded sweater is warm, fuzzy, and so cozy. This pinup-style sweater from JEM Exclusives is right out of 1960s Hong Kong. It’s a dream come true in 100% lambswool with beautiful beading along the front and back. Truly a unique piece!

This gorgeous 1960s lambswool sweater would fit a modern size M-L depending upon your preferred fit.

Did you know sweaters like this vintage 1960s beaded sweater were incredibly popular during the 1950s and early 1960s?

I have quite a few of them in the shop, including this stunning one in lambswool, another in black and gold, and this black-on-black lambswool and angora piece! And can we talk about this Barbie-perfect pink beaded sleeveless sweater?

Cashmere sweaters in general were a huge part of mid-century fashion, particularly when it came to evening wear, and I could definitely see this wool sleeveless sweater being part of some magnificent formal outfit. I would pair it with a tulle skirt and heels for a night out!

The Vintage Fashion Guild has a great piece on the history of cashmere sweaters in mid-century fashion, including those made in Hong Kong in the 50s and 60s!
