White cape top with black beads from Turkey, post 546

 

At the London Wine Fair in Olympia, London, I admired this white cape decorated with black beads from a distance.

I dashed up to convey my admiration to the wearer and to ask her where she bought it.

This lovely white cape fastens around the waist.

Bought from Turkey. No label. No washing label. She washes it by hand.

Black beads in several shapes.

What a wonderful garment. What do I like about it? 

1 Curvy cape, swinging elegantly.

2 From the front like a batwing lseeve, but with a curve.

3 Not loose like a cape, but pulled in at the waist.

4 Front and back held together by a hook and eye, secure double hook and eye, at the waist.

5 Glittery black beads, faceted, add class, attention-getting contrast colour, stand out against the white. They glint to get attention, day or night.

6 Black and white, for day and night, winter and summer.

By chance, the dark coloured lanyard seems to form a v-shape edging down the front.
