Description:
Item:
1970s lace night cardigan by Hanro of Switzerland in soft pale yellow with delicate floral lace throughout. Made from a 70% polyester / 30% wool blend, giving it a light, soft handle with a little warmth. Designed with a rounded neckline and ribbon tie closure at the front, finished with scalloped lace trim along the collar, placket and hem. The silhouette is light and slightly cropped with a relaxed drape, typical of vintage lounge and nightwear pieces from the period. As always with 1960s–70s polyester, this is not modern fast-fashion polyester but the more durable, premium-feeling fabric of its era, made to hold colour, shape and structure over time.
Era:
1970s
Brand:
Hanro (Made In Switzerland)
Condition:
Very good vintage condition. Fabric remains soft with light, natural wear consistent with age. Lace structure and trim remain clean and intact.
Provenance Note:
Hanro is one of Europe’s best-known heritage lingerie and lounge labels, and Swiss-made pieces like this are exactly why. The soft yellow tone, floral lace texture and delicate tie front give it that romantic 1970s feel, while the quality of the fabric keeps it practical and wearable. A lovely vintage lounge piece with far more charm than modern equivalents.

Condition Notes:
Please be aware. All our true vintage items come with a history, and minor signs of age, wear, or character should be expected. Any notable marks, damage, or repairs will always be clearly mentioned. This natural wear is part of what gives genuine vintage its individuality and authenticity. True vintage should not be confused with modern second-hand clothing
We photograph all garments using a professional, studio-grade imaging system designed to show colour, texture, and shape as accurately as possible. This setup was built specifically to give a true representation of each piece and avoid misleading presentation; however, we do not take photos of inside the garment. While we take great care in inspecting every piece, with true vintage it is always possible that a minor detail may be missed.
Sizing Notes:
Please compare these measurements to a similar item you already own, laid flat (rather than measuring your body). Start with the bust measurement, then check length. Vintage sizing runs small and cuts vary significantly from modern equivalents, so the measurements listed are the best guide to fit.
Our modern sizing estimates are based on bust measurements using the following sizing scale:
UK 6 (30–31")
UK 8 (32–33")
UK 10 (34–35")
UK 12 (36–37")
UK 14 (38–39")
UK 16 (40–41")
UK 18 (42–43")
UK 20 (44–45")
For jackets, knitwear, and padded outerwear, we grade one size down to allow for structure, lining, bulk.or layering.
