Ankara *WAX PRINT Wikipedia: Wax prints are a type of nonverbal communication among African women, and thereby carry their messages out into the world. Some wax prints are named after personalities, cities, buildings, sayings, or occasions. The producer, name of the product, and registration number of the design is printed on the selvage, thus protecting the design and attesting to the quality of the fabric. Wax fabrics constitute capital goods for African women. They are therefore often retained based on their perceived market value - as is true vintage clothing!

Knowledge of the Hand Deep Violet Cotton Velvet Pencil Skirt

Knowledge of the Hand Deep Violet Cotton Velvet Pencil Skirt

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something quietly commanding about a garment made by naval tailors. Gubb & Mackie, established in 1949 and carrying a reputation built on precision and discipline, brought that same exacting standard to this deep violet cotton velvet pencil skirt. The pile is soft and close, the colour a rich amethyst, and the construction is assured throughout. Wide waistband, angled front seam panels that draw the eye downward, a smooth viscose lining, a centre back zip and a neat back vent at the hem.

The high waistband anchors the silhouette firmly at the natural waist, making it ideal if you want to elongate the lower body and bring focus upward. The tulip shaping through the hip and thigh is close without being restrictive, and the back vent allows easy movement. Try it with a simple silk blouse tucked in, or a fitted knit in cream or black. Heels sharpen the look, but ankle boots work just as well for cooler weather evenings. A piece of New Zealand fashion history that will be a welcome addition to any modern wardrobe.

Indigo Teardrop Floral Double-Tier Ruffle Maxi Skirt

Indigo Teardrop Floral Double-Tier Ruffle Maxi Skirt

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something almost folk-art about this skirt, the way its deep indigo background is alive with tiny teardrops, wheat-shaped leaves, and clusters of hot pink and teal flowers scattered across the fabric in a repeating all-over print that feels both structured and wild at once. The silhouette is fitted at the waist before sweeping into a generous A-line that finishes in two stacked ruffle tiers, each one adding volume and movement at the hem. The easy-care fabric holds its shape well while still allowing the skirt to swing with each step. This is a maxi with real presence.

Tuck in a simple white tee or a fitted teal, yellow or pink knit letting the skirt take the lead. The high fitted waist defines and anchors, making it a strong choice if you prefer emphasis there, while the tiered hem draws the eye downward and adds a sweeping, floor-grazing drama that elongates the leg beautifully. The volume sits below the hip, so the silhouette stays clean through the middle and opens as it falls. Flat sandals keep it relaxed; espadrilles or boots shift it into evening territory easily.

Playgirl Exclusive 1960s Berry Boucle Lace-Up Mini Dress

Playgirl Exclusive 1960s Berry Boucle Lace-Up Mini Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The dress texture of this fabric is a dense, nubby boucle weave in deep magenta berry, flecked with darker tones that give the surface a depth and richness you simply do not get from flat cloth. Playgirl Exclusive was a New Zealand label making sharp, youthful pieces for women who were paying attention to what was happening in London, and this mini reflects exactly that: a clean sleeveless A-line cut with a back zip and a lining in the same warm magenta, finished with a detail that sets it apart entirely. A central front panel in soft baby pink linen look fabric runs from the deep V-neckline to the hem, threaded through with a cross-laced pink cord and silver-tipped eyelets. It is a very 1960s idea, executed with real care.

The A-line swings straight from the shoulder without nipping the waist, making this an easy wear across different builds. The open V with its laced panel draws the eye down the centre of the body, creating a long vertical line through the chest and torso. The sleeveless cut keeps things uncluttered at the shoulder. Wear it with summer sandals or a fine skivvy underneath with knee-high boots. The lacing detail is the whole point, so let it show.

1970s Purple Berry Stripe Knit Polo Neck Midi Dress with Belt

1970s Purple Berry Stripe Knit Polo Neck Midi Dress with Belt

$189.00 $149.00 Save $40.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Run your fingers across this fabric and you understand immediately why wool blend knit was the decade's go-to for a well-dressed winter. The stripe sequence here is extraordinary: dozens of horizontal bands in deep violet, amethyst, magenta, berry, periwinkle, lavender and warm grey shift and repeat across the body in a rhythm, each colour bleeding softly into the next at its edges. The knit itself has real substance, a wool-easy care blend with gentle surface texture and excellent recovery. A fold-over polo neck, long fitted sleeves and a centre back zip complete a silhouette that is unmistakably of its era and completely wearable now.

The body-skimming cut follows the torso, sitting closest through the shoulder and upper chest before relaxing slightly through the hip. Horizontal stripes in a knit like this distribute evenly across the frame rather than cutting across it, so the overall effect is long and unbroken. The matching self-covered buckle belt is included and pulls the waist in beautifully when you want it, or leave it off entirely for a cleaner column line. Pair with boots for a warm winter stylish look.

Royal Blue Tartan Tailored Jacket

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Rich with nostalgic character, this authentic tartan jacket captures the spirited tailoring and expressive colour palettes that defined mid-century dressing. Woven in a vivid royal blue tartan with accents of crimson, emerald, gold and ivory, the textured cotton blend features subtle raised detailing throughout the weave, creating beautiful depth and dimension. The sharply cut lapels, fitted waist and softly flared hemline lend the silhouette an elegant structure enhancing its sculptural line. Finished with statement buttons and practical pockets, it carries the charm of heirloom tailoring with enduring versatility.

This silhouette beautifully defines the waist while balancing the shoulders and creating a softly elongated line through the torso. The tailored fit suits those who enjoy structured dressing without heaviness, and the vibrant tartan pattern pairs effortlessly with denim, black tailoring or soft cream knitwear. Worn buttoned as a statement piece or layered open over simple separates, it brings warmth, individuality and a sense of archival elegance to modern wardrobes.

Vintage Clothing - Spare - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Vintage Deep Navy And White Floral Bodice Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This vintage dress has that crisp navy-and-white floral bodice that feels a bit like porcelain patterning, finished with a deep inky skirt that keeps the whole look clean and elegant. The neckline sits high with a navy collar band, and the sleeveless cut keeps the shape sharp through the shoulders.

From the bust to the waist it is fitted and tidy, then it releases into an easy A-line skirt that lands around the knee. The fabric has a soft drape and an easy-care feel.

For styling, go bold with colour. Try glossy red heels and a citron clutch. Or keep it playful with a striped cardi in red or white. For evening, add a coat or a wrap in bold jewel tones and finish with simple jewellery.

This shape is great if you like a defined waist with a skirt that gives your hips room to move. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and shoulders and want a bodice that feels structured without clinging.

Vintage Clothing - Baby Blue Kimono - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Kimono

Powder Blue Reversible Japanese Haori Kimono Jacket in Silk Blend

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Soft powder blue on one side and a pale floral reverse on the other, this authentic Japanese Haori style kimono gives you two beautifully different looks in one garment. No less than 30 years young and in fantastic vintage condition, it is a true one-off with all the quiet beauty and craftsmanship that makes vintage Japanese textiles so collectible.

Cut in the classic haori style, it has kimono sleeves, an open front, and that easy drape that sits beautifully over the body. The silk-blend fabric feels light and fluid, with subtle woven texture through the blue side and a more decorative surprise on the reverse. As with many authentic haori, the construction is cleverly finished so you can enjoy either side depending on your mood, outfit, or occasion.

Style it over a fine knit and wide-leg trousers, with denim and loafers, or over a simple slip dress when you want a softer layer that still feels polished. It is especially useful if you like shape that skims rather than clings, and it works well if you prefer a bit of movement through the body, want gentle coverage through the upper arm, or enjoy a relaxed layer that frames the neckline and falls cleanly from the shoulder.

Vintage Clothing - BLUE 34 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Royal Blue Ribbed Knit-Blend Mock Neck A-Line Vintage Dress with Long Sleeves 1960–1970

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some dresses are made for a moment. This one was made for a decade, and it has held its nerve ever since. Cut in a rich royal blue ribbed knit-blend, the mock turtleneck sits with just enough height to feel considered without being restrictive, and the ribbed texture runs the full length of the dress, shifting between cobalt and midnight depending on the light. The silhouette is gently A-line, skimming cleanly from the shoulder and releasing into a soft flare toward the knee. A full-length rear zipper from neckline to hem tells you everything about how this was made: with care, from beginning to end.

This is unmistakably from the era of clean lines and the quiet conviction that a well-cut dress in a single strong colour was all a woman needed to walk into any room. It still is.

Wear it with knee-high boots and a structured coat, or belt it at the waist for definition and add a vintage brooch at the collar. The clean A-line works beautifully across proportions: it skims if you are fuller through the bust and shoulder, releases gently over the hip without pulling if you carry more fullness below, and a slim belt creates an instant waist on any silhouette. One dress. Endless ways to wear it.

Vintage Clothing - BLUE 33 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Skyward Blue Knit-Blend High Neck Skater Dress with Long Sleeves

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This fantastic knit-blend skater dress is the sort of authentic vintage that feels immediately fun, considered and up lifting, thanks to the high neckline, long sleeves, and a tailored bodice that nips in at the waist before dropping into a flared A-line skirt.

The fabric has that easy-care practicality, but the finish feels hand-crafted and thoughtfully constructed. It zips at the back with an original zipper and is secured with an original hook-and-eye at the neckline, which keeps the high collar sitting neatly. The silhouette is brilliant for cooler months because it gives shape without clinging, and the skirt has enough swing to keep it feeling light on its feet.

Style it for work with a sharp navy blazer and boots, or take it weekend-ready with a vintage coat and a leather crossbody. If you like a bit of contrast, try a soft ivory scarf at the neckline, or add a punchy colour bag for a modern twist.

This shape is especially good if you like definition through the waist with a skirt that skims the hips and thighs. It can also be a great balance if you carry more fullness on your bottom half than your top half, or if you are broader through the shoulders and bustline and prefer a waist-defined silhouette that flows away from the body.

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This French Castille shirtwaister is one of those proper wardrobe doers: crisp, cotton, and beautifully put together, with that easy French confidence built right in. The blue patterned print gives it personality, while the button-through front keeps it classic and practical.

The shape is a neat shift-meets-shirtwaister, finishing just over the knee, with a matching belt to bring in the waist when you feel like a little extra definition. Pockets (always a win) and original buttons make it feel a complete look.

Style it with white sneakers and a straw tote for daytime, or switch to metallic flats and a bold cuff for dinner. For cooler months, add a cropped denim jacket or a soft trench, plus boots for that polished, city-ready finish.

Vintage Clothing - BLUE SPARE - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Blue Abstract Print Vintage Day Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This vintage dress has that lovely vivid blue presence that will feel instantly uplifting, with an all-over abstract print in navy, teal, chartreuse, violet, and pink scattered across the fabric. The collar and soft shirt-style bodice give it a neat tailored starting point, while the elasticated waist draws the shape in gently without taking away the ease.

The fabric is soft as butter and light to wear, with that easy wash-and-wear feel that makes getting dressed wonderfully straightforward. Long sleeves gathered into cuffs give it a little polish, while the skirt falls into an easy line with room to move. It is the sort of dress that feels just as right for daytime plans as it does dressed up a little further.

Try it with neutral loafers and a lilac handbag, or go with cobalt boots and a bright bangles. For a colour extravaganza, add a cardigan in saffron, fuchsia, or apple green.

This shape is great if you like gentle definition through the waist with ease through the hips and thighs. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and shoulders and want the bodice to sit comfortably without clinging. If you are straighter through the middle, the elasticated waist helps create shape, while the soft skirt keeps the overall line relaxed and flattering.

Vintage Clothing - Teal and Gold One-Shoulder Lurex Vintage Brocade Cocktail Dress with Draped Sleeve Panel - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Teal and Gold One-Shoulder Lurex Vintage Brocade Cocktail Dress with Draped Sleeve Panel

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This soft lurex beauty is a “walk in, feel fabulous” dress. The teal-and-gold floral brocade has that gentle shimmer that looks luxe in any light, while the one-shoulder neckline keeps the styling uniquely interesting.

The shape is easy and flattering. It is fitted through the upper body, then releases into a softly gathered skirt that finishes around the knee. The shoulder bow detail and the draped panel give you movement and drama in the nicest way, which is especially handy when you want a statement look that still feels comfortable.

Style it with sleek metallic sandals and a small clutch for events, or go modern with pointed flats. If you want to play with colour, this looks brilliant with a warm gold bag or a deep teal heel.

This neckline is especially good if you like drawing the eye upward to the shoulders and collarbone. It is also a lovely balance if you are a bit fuller on your bottom half than your top half, because the upper detail creates proportion and the skirt skims rather than clings. If you are broader through the shoulders and bustline, it still works beautifully, just keep the rest of your styling streamlined so the neckline stays the star.

1960s Teal Beaded High Neck Hostess Shift Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This teal hostess-style shift will make a polished sparkling entrance. Clean lines, a crisp sleeveless cut, and that high neckline that frames the face to perfection. Then the beadwork arrives and suddenly the whole dress is on pointe!

The detailing is genuinely sublime. A sparkling, sculpted collar with silver-toned bursts, aqua beading, sequins, and tiny pearl accents, echoed down the front bib and finished again at the armholes. It is luxe and intentional rather than fussy, which is exactly what you want for weddings, cocktails, and any room where the lighting is doing you favours.

Style it with a sharp ivory blazer and metallic heels for modern event wear, or lean into colour with orchid, chartreuse, or paprika accessories for something bolder. It is also brilliant with a sleek low bun and statement earrings since the neckline does everything it was meant to do for you.

Vintage Clothing - Vintage Psychedelic Swirl Wrap-Effect Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Vintage Psychedelic Swirl Wrap-Effect Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage print that does not whisper. It walks in first. A joyful swirl of seafoam, bubblegum pink, citrus orange and warm mustard in a bold paisley-style pattern that feels like sunshine with a point of view.

The cut has that clever wrap-effect detail through the front, creating an asymmetric line that adds shape without feeling fussy. The neckline sits in a soft boat shape, the sleeves are a wearable three-quarter length, and the overall silhouette is clean and confident. It skims rather than clings, letting the colour do the talking while the tailoring keeps everything feeling intentional.

Styling is the fun part. Keep it graphic with white or tan sandals and a simple clutch, or go full gallery-opening energy with a sharp heel and a sculptural earring. For cooler days, layer with a crisp jacket or a longline coat and let the print peek out like a secret. If you love definition at the waist, add a slim belt over the wrap panel for a polished finish, but it looks just as strong worn as-is.

1960s Emerald Italian Wool Blend Mod Jacket

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is a cheerful precision to 1960s tailoring that is seems impossible to replicate. This authentic vintage jacket is a perfect example. Crafted from a fine Italian wool blend, the fabric has a smooth and almost felted hand that holds the structure beautifully.

The silhouette is classic mod. It features a charming rounded collar and five fabric-covered buttons that run down the centre front. The cut is gently boxy which allows it to sit neatly at the high hip without clinging. This shape is excellent for adding structure to the upper body while maintaining a clean vertical line.

Style it buttoned all the way up for a polished look with a black pencil skirt as shown. Alternatively, wear it open over a white tee and high-waisted denim for a relaxed weekend outfit. This is sustainable style that is bold yet simple. It is a piece of quality design that feels fresh decades later.

Vintage Clothing - Pale Green Silk Kimono Robe with Lotus and Duck Print 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Robe

Pale Green Silk Kimono Robe with Lotus and Duck Print

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Wearable art in the truest sense. This authentic vintage silk robe is a study in delicate beauty.

Crafted in 100% silk with a luminous drape, the fabric moves like water. The pale green base provides a canvas for printed imagery: lotus flowers bloom in soft pink and teal, their petals rendered with watercolour subtlety, while a mandarin duck glides below among floating leaves. The artistry is exquisite, each detail capturing the elegance of traditional Asian motifs.

The kimono-style cut features wide, flowing sleeves and a wrap-front design that ties with a self-belt. This is a robe that transcends function, equally at home as elegant loungewear, layered over simple slip dresses for evening, or worn as a statement piece with tailored separates.

The printed design carries symbolism: lotus flowers represent purity and enlightenment, while mandarin ducks symbolise love and fidelity in Asian culture. This is more than a garment, it's a narrative told in silk.

Pair it with simple neutrals to let the artwork speak, or wear it as luxurious at-home elegance. This is the kind of piece that becomes an heirloom.

Circa: 1940 - 1970
Origin: Private Collection - Stylists Own
Label: Rouge (Chinese translation to English)

Fabric: Silk
Condition: Excellent Very good Good commensurate with age and love

History: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiseries means a Western or, European interpretation of an Asian style and may not an necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!

Vintage Clothing - 1960s Adam Marr NZ Teardrop Print Crimplene Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

1960s Adam Marr NZ Teardrop Print Crimplene Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This dress by New Zealand label Adam Marr captures the playful spirit of late 1960s design. Crafted from crimplene, the era's signature 'wonder fabric', it offers incredible durability and structure. The textile features a fresh teardrop motif in lime green and sky blue against a neutral knit base.

The silhouette is practical and polished. It features a smart collar, button-down front, and charming patch pockets that add utility without bulk. The short sleeves are finished with a subtle notch detail that speaks to thoughtful tailoring.

This cut is fantastic for structure. The slightly heavier weight of the knit holds its shape to skim the body rather than cling, smoothing the line from shoulder to hem. The matching belt allows you to define the waist as much or as little as you like.

Style it with white loafers for a mod-inspired day look or add knee-high boots for a transitional outfit. This is low-maintenance vintage with high-impact charm. It is a piece of local history ready for a new chapter.

Vintage Clothing - Fletcher Jones Made In Australia Teal Linen Blend Double Breasted Blazer 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Fletcher Jones Made In Australia Teal Linen Blend Double Breasted Blazer

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage blazer that instantly upgrades whatever you already own. A Fletcher Jones piece in a saturated teal green that reads confident, polished, and a little bit cinematic. The fabric has a subtle texture that hints at its linen blend, so it looks expensive up close, not flat or flimsy.

The cut is classic power-tailoring in the best way: a longline shape with strong shoulders, a clean notched lapel, and a double breasted front that creates structure through the torso without feeling stiff. The button stance gives you that defined line down the body, and the length balances proportions beautifully, especially if you like your jackets to skim past the hip.

Styling wise, this is a wardrobe workhorse with personality. Wear it open over a simple tee and straight leg denim for weekday ease. Button it up and pair with a sleek skirt or tailored trousers for meetings, dinners, or any moment you want to look like you have a plan. It also looks brilliant over a slip dress, because the sharp lapel and longer length add contrast and shape. If you love a waist moment, add a belt over the blazer and let the lapel frame the neckline like built-in styling.

Vintage Clothing - 1950s Black and Emerald Sheer Stripe Fit and Flare Skirt 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirts

1950s Black and Emerald Sheer Stripe Fit and Flare Skirt

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of 1950s skirt that does the hard work for you. A true fit and flare shape with a full, swishy sweep, finished in a black sheer overlay with deep green horizontal striping that reads dressy without trying too hard.

The fabric has a crisp, lightly structured feel through the overlay, so the skirt holds its silhouette rather than collapsing. Wearable and polished, the sheer striped layer adds depth and movement as you walk. Up top, it sits high on the waist with soft gathers for volume, plus a matching belt to define the waistline cleanly.

It is a brilliant piece for proportion play. The high waist and full skirt create that classic 1950s balance, highlighting the waist and giving the hips and legs room to move. Pair it with a fitted knit, a tucked blouse, or a simple tee and a sharp shoe. It also loves a cropped jacket, especially for evenings when you want shape without bulk.

Elegant, wearable, and quietly theatrical in the best way.

Vintage Clothing - Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic 1960s shift dress is a quiet showstopper. It is cut in a classic, clean-lined mini-length silhouette with long sleeves and a softly rounded neckline, then finished with a delicate scalloped white trim of faux pearls at the collar and cuffs for that looks perfectly polished. The fabric has a fine all-over green hued shimmer that reads like metallic thread woven through a deep navy base, a very era-true way of doing evening glamour without sequins or fuss.

A centre back zip is visible, keeping the front beautifully uninterrupted. The simplicity of the cut makes it a styling dream. Add a pearl clip-on, a sleek updo, and a kitten heel for dinner. Or, go modern with opaque tights and boots for winter events. This is vintage design doing what it does best: creating confidence through your silhouette, not clutter.

Olive Fleck Tweed 1960s Wool Belted Shift Dress

Olive Fleck Tweed 1960s Wool Belted Shift Dress

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Style simplicity to this wool shift dress, cut in a flecked tweed of olive, gold and cream that reads as a single warm tone from a distance and reveals its texture up close. The dress is lined, sleeveless with a round neckline and a fitted bodice through the shoulders, dropping to a belted waist with a rectangular metal buckle, a detail often seen on drop-waist shift dresses through the 1960s. Below the belt, the skirt falls in structured box pleats that add movement without adding bulk. A concealed back zip finishes the dress cleanly, and the fabric itself has a soft, flecked wool hand that holds its shape well.

This is an easy, straight through the body silhouette, sitting close at the shoulder and bust before releasing gently at the belted waist. The pleated skirt balances the fitted top half, giving movement through the hip and thigh. A clean, versatile shape that layers easily with a blouse or turtleneck beneath.

Fair Isle Style 1970s Knit Top and Skirt Set

Fair Isle Style 1970s Knit Top and Skirt Set

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is a warmth to this knit two piece, the kind of set built for easy layering through cooler months. The fair isle style banding sits in soft rust and cream across the shoulders and yoke of the top, a decorative knit motif closely associated with 1970s casual dressing, and repeats again along the hem of the matching skirt. A keyhole neckline closes at the front with a small wooden toggle button. The knit itself has a soft, slightly textured hand, holding its shape well through the body while the elasticated skirt waist offers easy movement.

Worn together as a set or mixed separately through your existing wardrobe, this piece offers a relaxed, easy fit through the shoulders and bust, with the keyhole neckline sitting open rather than close to the throat. The skirt skims gently over the hip almost A-line and settles at the natural waist, giving length and movement. A versatile knit pairing suited to layering.

Vintage Clothing - Sharella Coat Perfection - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Sharella Five-Foot-Four black wool A-line coat with warm fur collar. Made in New Zealand from English broadcloth. Authentic 1960s fashion at Painted Bird Vintage NZ

$199.00 $149.00 Save $50.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This Sharella coat has two labels and both of them matter. The first reads: under Five-Foot-Four by Sharella, Made in New Zealand. The second, stitched into the facing, reads: Miracle Prima, super broadcloth, made in England. Together they tell you everything about how seriously New Zealand fashion took itself in the 1960s, when local makers chose their cloth with care and cut their coats for real women with unique bodies.

The coat is a classic A-line in deep black broadcloth, falling to midi length with a clean, easy sweep through the body. The collar is warm brown fur, wide and generous at the neckline, adding the kind of detail that makes a coat feel genuinely luxurious. Button front closure with small matching black buttons at the cuffs. Side seam pockets. Fully lined throughout in a dark satin. The whole thing has that particular quality of mid-century outerwear: dense, structured fabric that holds its shape season after season.

Wear it over a charcoal or camel roll-neck and a slim black skirt. Or throw it on over a printed silk dress in deep rust and amber. It works just as well over wide-leg tailored trousers and a crisp white blouse as it does over a simple knit dress and boots. This coat goes with almost everything you already own in your autumn and winter wardrobe.

Everything else is in very good condition, commensurate with age and love. Keen to try it on? Visit The Aviary and make your booking [here](https://paintedbird.nz/pages/welcome-to-the-aviary).

HISTORY: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiseries means a Western or, European interpretation of an Asian style and may not an necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from a number of Asian countries but for purposes of website search - we offer as one collection. We believe they are all beautiful, unique and wearable art for the now. Fashion designers have repeated these designs over a variety of eras. Enjoy!
