I aqquirred this lovely cardigan sweater and the label has a name Toni Imports. I would like to know anything about the company, the year this was made and a possible price.
Thanks

Hi - I believe this is early 60s. These beaded Hong Kong pieces are usually very high quality. I love the colors!

I'm no help with pricing.

Have you been a member before? Your name and avatar are so familiar!

I have never been a member just a guest. Maybe you have seen me on The Vintage Village or etsy or ruby lane. Thanks for your help.

Great color. I agree with 60s.
The lining makes it a better quality sweater.

Thanks again. But is anyone familar with the name Toni Imports?

Not much but I did find out that Toni Imports was mentioned in the 1964-1965 Hong Kong trade directory. Here is the entry
TONI IMPORTS(FAR EAST) LTD, 107, Chatham Road, 13th Floor, Flat A, Kowloon

What a great article. I now know I have a good quality sweater as the sleeves are sewn in as describes. My lining is probably silk, but can't tell for sure. I thought it was a netted type nylon as it is a little harsh and not as soft as the silk I know.
Thanks again
