1940s/50s Vintage Silk Beaded Collar

The Japanese brand Miranda was a mid‑20th‑century maker—mostly active during the 1940s and 1950s—specializing in elegant, hand‑beaded collar accessories. These detachable “bib” or “Peter Pan” style collars were meant to dress up simple garments like cardigans or dresses, adding a touch of sophistication. 🎀 What defines a Miranda collar: Materials: Fine silk backing, often satin, adorned with faux pearls, bronze seed beads, and bugle beads. Construction: Handmade craftsmanship, stitched beading with hook‑and‑eye closures ensuring they stay snug around the neckline. Miranda collars were highly fashionable in post‑war Japan and exported, especially to Western markets. Accessible and stylish, they offered versatile flair to 1940s‑1950s wardrobe trends. This item is vintage, which means it's likely been worn, used, and moved before it made it to you. Flaws to the piece are typically visible in photos. The history is what makes it special!
