Vintage Liz Sport Black Velvet Cardigan | 80s–90s Korean-Made Embroidered Button Top

An elegant relic of late-80s craftsmanship, this vintage Liz Sport black velvet cardigan captures the quiet romance of the gothic minimalist era. Made in Korea during Liz Claiborne’s golden production years, this piece combines luxurious velvet texture with intricate tonal embroidery winding delicately down the front and sleeves.

The result is a look that feels both ethereal and structured — a whisper of old-world opulence meets everyday wearability. Its slightly boxy drape flatters modern silhouettes, making it a beautiful layering piece for Whimsigoth, Romantic Goth, or Dark Academia wardrobes.

Curated by Whispering Knots Designs, this piece was chosen for its textile quality, timeless detailing, and vintage rarity.
