Era / Decade
Late 1980s to Early 1990s based on the metallic cursive tag logo and the heavy 'Made in India' beaded construction common in that era.
Material
100% Silk Shell, Rayon/Polyester Lining, glass beads, and plastic sequins. High quality weighted construction common for vintage Indian-made silk pieces.
Condition
Very Good. The tag shows some fraying and discoloration. Sequins appear largely intact, though typical vintage beaded items often have minor loose threads or missing beads upon close inspection.

Moderate to Strong. Highly sought after during the holiday season (October-December) and for 'night out' vintage collectors.
