VPOD: Vintage 1960s Beaded Cashmere Sweater for Spring


vintage 1960s beaded sweater for spring

As my loyal readers know, I’m a H-U-G-E fan of vintage beaded sweaters, especially when they’re made from that uber-soft vintage cashmere of yesteryear. You know what I mean. There’s just something about quality vintage cashmere and velvet that is completely different from what you find on the market today.

And while it’s pretty easy to find these vintage beaded sweaters in black and at pretty reasonable prices, it does require a bit of a search and maybe some luck to find one that is truly unique and has that extra-special something that makes me want to add it to my growing collection.

But today’s VPOD fits the bill. This 1960s beaded cashmere sweater by Lorine is just perfect for Spring! Ivory cashmere is adorned with pastel beads that depict wild grasses blowing in the breeze.

It’s a perfect springtime find for a vintage fashionista!

Available at Posh Vintage.

P.S.   My all-time favorite product for caring for my vintage beaded sweaters is Eucalan. Forget the dry-cleaning, ladies. Your sweaters will turn out softer when you wash them in Eucalan because its lanolin acts as a natural fabric softener. Plus, since it’s biodegradable, uses recycled packaging and helps reduce water use by 50% over regular washing, it’s much more eco-friendly—and way less expensive— than even the most eco-friendly dry-cleaning around. Give it a try and let me know what you think—you’re sure to become a fan!

    That is a gorgeous sweater! Thanks for the cleaner rec! I have so many vintage beaded sweaters and I have been so afraid to take them to the cleaners so I just wear them and put them away without washing them, this sounds like a great alternative to the cleaners!
