This beautiful piece was made in the 1960's and is labelled Stephen Chu, Made in Hong Kong.
A very heavy piece the outer is made up of a double layer of thick white mesh which is entirely covered with teeny clear and silver glass seed beads in a floral design and has faux pearl beads for accent detail. It is fully lined with silk, which means it feels nice against the skin. It fastens down the back with a metal zip and is finished off perfectly with a deep fringe of seed beads with faux pearl ends.
