Vintage Clothing - 1960s Emerald Italian Wool Blend Mod Jacket 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

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 - 1970s Moss Green & Charcoal Textured Wool Blend Pleated Skirt 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirts

1970s Moss Green & Charcoal Textured Wool Blend Pleated Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is a tactile richness to this authentic 1970s skirt that instantly evokes the cosiness of the colder months. Crafted from a woven wool blend, it features a sophisticated horizontal stripe pattern in earthy tones of moss green, charcoal, and sandy beige. The fabric has a lovely nubby texture that adds depth and interest to any outfit.

The construction is brilliantly designed to flatter. Unlike simple gathered skirts, this piece features pleats that are stitched down from the waistband to the hip before releasing into fullness. This technique creates a smooth, streamlined silhouette over the tummy and hips while still offering the swing and movement of a full skirt. It is a cut that works exceptionally well if you want to define your waist without adding bulk to your midsection.

Style it with a fitted cream turtleneck and knee-high leather boots for a classic winter look. This is a versatile, high-quality staple that brings vintage character to modern dressing.

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.

Teal Jersey 1970s-1980s Dress with Self-Tie Belt

$135.00

Sometimes elegance is as simple as the right colour and the right cut. This authentic vintage dress understands both.

Crafted in a teal jersey with a fluid drape, the fabric moves beautifully and holds its shape without effort. The V-neckline flatters the collarbone, while a button-front bodice provides structure. Long sleeves with button cuffs add polish, and the self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist, offering you complete control over fit and definition.

The skirt flares gently from the waist in an A-line shape, creating movement and balance. This silhouette works beautifully whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the defined waist and flowing skirt providing elegant proportion.

Made in Britain, this is quality jersey at its best: easy care, comfortable, and ready to work across your wardrobe. Pair it with boots and a blazer for work, or add heels and gold or silver jewellery for an elegant evening look.

The kind of dress you reach for again and again. Timeless, versatile, and effortlessly wearable.

Vintage Clothing - Pomare Hawaii Barkcloth Floral Pleated Caftan 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Pomare Hawaii Barkcloth Floral Pleated Caftan

$249.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage caftan that turns a “What do I wear?” moment into a full mood. A rare Pomare Hawaii sunray style piece in an electric ocean blue and zesty lime green florals, with tiny pink blossoms sprinkled through like confetti. The fabric has that classic barkcloth style texture, and the all-over pleating gives it movement, drama, and a surprisingly flattering fall.

The silhouette is beautifully generous and intentionally floaty, so it skims the body rather than clinging. The neckline is a soft scoop, and the shape reads like an elegant cape of colour, with the pleats doing the clever work of creating vertical lines that lengthen the look. It is ease with presence. You can wear it loose for maximum swish, or belt it to define the waist and bring out a more sculpted silhouette without losing comfort.

Styling is effortless. Slip it over swimwear with slides and oversized sunglasses for holiday energy. Add statement earrings and a sleek sandal for dinner out. For cooler days, layer it with a slip or long sleeve merino underneath and let the print do the talking. This is one of those pieces that makes you feel instantly put together, even when you are keeping it simple.

There is something deeply grounding about wearing a piece of local history. This exceptional 1960s coat by Christchurch tailor 'van Roli' is a testament to New Zealand's rich manufacturing past. It is crafted from a wool blend in a sophisticated heritage check, weaving together tones of slate grey, forest green, and a striking burgundy thread.

This is brilliant for comfort as it allows ample room for layering chunky winter knits without restricting movement. The silhouette is a classic column shape that falls to the knee, providing excellent coverage and warmth.

This cut works beautifully to soften the shoulder line while the straight drape skims effortlessly past the hips and thighs. It is a coat that offers structure without rigidity.

Style it as your daily armour against the cold. It looks impeccable buttoned over a work dress or worn open with denim and leather boots for a relaxed weekend aesthetic. This is investment dressing with true provenance. It is a durable, stylish layer that has stood the test of time.

There is a quiet sophistication to this 1970s maxi dress that feels incredibly modern. Rendered in a soft sage green that fades gently into a cream ombré hem, it captures the era's love for fluid lines and ethereal detail.

The fabric appears to be a fluid jersey, offering both comfort and a beautiful drape. The design features a high neckline with an attached tie detail to add a touch of structure without stiffness. Long, fitted sleeves and a matching belt create a long, lean silhouette.

The skirt is the true highlight. Constructed with clever panelling, it skims the hips before flaring out gently to create movement as you walk. This cut is brilliant for creating length. It defines the waist while gliding over the lower body, making it a flattering choice if you want to highlight your middle while keeping a relaxed line through the legs.

Vintage Clothing - Le Canari Sage Green Chinoiserie Frog Closure Jacket ' VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Le Canari Sage Green Chinoiserie Frog Closure Jacket

$169.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Originally brought to New Zealand from the UK, this Le Canari jacket is a wearable conversation starter, the kind you keep reaching for because it oozes style. The base is a soft silk in sage green with a smooth, satin-like finish, printed with painterly florals in pinks, lilacs, and sunny accents. Then it gets even better: the contrast panels in a geometric key pattern add structure and a crisp frame, especially through the front placket, cuffs, and pockets.

The frog closures give it that classic chinoiserie influence, while the overall shape stays modern and easy, hip length, relaxed through the body, and ideal for layering. It is brilliant over a simple dress, sharp with tailored trousers, and unexpectedly cool with denim.

It reads like collected style. Not trend. Not costume. Just a great jacket with a point of view.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Chinoiserie Silk Wadding Reversible Padded Jacket 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Emerald Chinoiserie Silk Wadding Reversible Padded Jacket

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of piece that makes an outfit feel instantly intentional. A deep emerald green, lightly lustrous jacket with a traditional mandarin collar and classic knotted frog closures, finished with embroidered chrysanthemum blooms scattered like fireworks across a night garden.

The structure is wonderfully wearable. It has a clean, straight silhouette with enough ease through the body to layer over a fine knit or a crisp shirt. The padded quilting gives you that satisfying feel of warmth without being too bulky, and the black reversible interior means you can flip the mood entirely when you want something more understated.

The embroidery is the star. White, gold, and coppery tones pop against the green satin-like surface, and the texture play between smooth sheen and quilted stitching is pure vintage craftsmanship. It looks elevated with tailored trousers and loafers, and equally cool with denim and a simple tee.

This is a statement jacket that still behaves like a practical one. It is comfort, detail, and story in one wearable layer.

HISTORY: The word chinoiserie /ʃɪnˈwɑːzəri/ comes from the French term Chinois which translates as Chinese or, after the Chinese taste (as in style). Chinoiserie 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 - Emerald Rose Print Cotton Dress 1950s - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Emerald Rose Print Cotton Dress 1950s

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sometimes, a garment captures the very essence of a season. At least 70 years young, this authentic vintage dress is a masterclass in mid-century vibrancy. Crafted from crisp cotton sateen with a subtle sheen, the print is a joyful garden of red, pink, and blue roses set against a mottled emerald background.

The silhouette is the quintessential 'New Look' shape. A fitted bodice and wide portrait collar nip in at the waist before releasing into a full, pleated skirt. It is a structural dream for many shapes. The open neckline serves to balance a fuller bust or shoulders, while the generous skirt skims effortlessly over the hips and thighs to highlight the waist without clinging.

Add your own belt for for further definition as pictured. Pair with slides for a casual day look, or add a petticoat (pictured with and without) and red lip for evening drama. This is sustainable style at its most spirited. It is a piece of history proving quality and character never fade.

Vintage Clothing - Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some dresses arrive with their own light source. This authentic vintage piece from German designer, Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg is one of them.

Crafted in metallic lamé with a viscose base, the fabric shimmers with every movement. An impressionistic pattern flows across the surface in jewel tones: emerald green, gold, rust, turquoise, and coral blend together like an abstract painting. The metallic finish catches light beautifully, transforming throughout the day from subtle gleam to full radiance.

The silhouette is pure elegance. A sleeveless bodice with a round neckline sits close to the body before gathering at the natural waist, creating a gentle blouson effect. Below, an accordion-pleated skirt fans out in glorious fullness, the fine pleating adding texture and movement. This shape works beautifully across different body types: the fitted bodice defines the waist, while the pleated skirt balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs.

German craftsmanship at its finest. Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg was known for exceptional fabrics and construction, and this dress delivers both. The pleating is permanent-set, a technical achievement that ensures the skirt maintains its sculptural form.

Cocktail dressing with presence. Pair it with your favourite heels and minimal jewellery to let the fabric take centre stage.

Vintage Clothing - Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Blouse

Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse

$130.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

If your wardrobe loves a little colour with good manners, this one is calling your name. This Italian blouse comes in a vivid kelly green with a smooth, satin-like finish that catches the light beautifully. The shape is softly easy through the body with short sleeves, so it feels polished without feeling fussy. The rounded neckline is finished with a neat trim and a sweet front tie, while the centre front features a pleated and ruffled placket that gives instant interest and a flattering vertical line.

Around the back, it fastens with a button-through closure using small, light-coloured buttons, which keeps the front clean and lets the detailing do the talking. The overall design nods to late 1960s into 1970s Italian boutique styling, where a blouse could be both practical and a little bit showy in the best way.

Style it tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt for confident, body-celebrating shape, or wear it with tailored trousers and a simple heel for effortless 'I have taste' energy. Add a gold hoop or a crisp red lip if you feel like turning the dial up.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Vest

Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons

$135.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The art of layering begins here. This authentic vintage gillet proves that the simplest pieces often work the hardest.

Crafted in emerald green easy care fabric with a subtle texture, the fabric has weight and presence without bulk. The sleeveless design creates a clean vertical line, while the open front allows for endless styling possibilities. A deep V-neckline elongates the torso beautifully, flattering whether you carry more fullness through the bust or prefer a more streamlined silhouette.

The A-line cut gently skims away from the body, creating elegant movement and balance. If you have broader shoulders or a fuller bust, the open front and V-neck draw the eye down rather than across. If you carry more through the hips and thighs, the longer length and A-line shape provide graceful coverage while maintaining proportion.

Silver button detailing on the front hip pockets adds a touch of polish, three on each side catching light with every step. Construction is impeccable, with clean seaming and a structured shoulder line that holds its shape.

Layer it over high neck light sweaters and blouses for cooler months, or wear it as a statement piece over silk camisoles or slip dresses for evening. This is the kind of vest that builds a wardrobe. Timeless, versatile, endlessly wearable.

Vintage Clothing - Green Prism Collar Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Green Prism Collar Dress

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage dress has that unmistakable 1970s attitude: a clean, sleek green bodice with an exaggerated pointed collar in a vivid geometric print, then a matching printed skirt that brings the movement. The collar length and shape are a big clue to the era, and the neat front button placket adds to that tailored, daytime to dinner polish that seventies dressing did so well.

Construction wise, the silhouette is built through shaping seams and a defined join where the skirt is set in, giving structure up top and an easy swish below. The crisp collar suggests interfacing for that sharp line, and the colour matched buttons keep the look intentional rather than fussy.

Let the collar be your jewellery and keep the neckline clear, then choose a simple sandal for day or a heeled mule for evening. If you are a bit fuller on your bottom half than your top half, the bold collar visually balances the look beautifully, while the skirt does its job with confidence and ease.

You wont find another with this sensational swish!

Emerald Diamante Column Dress 1960s

$210.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some colours demand to be noticed. Crafted in mid-weight emerald green cotton with delicate eyelet detailing throughout, the fabric catches light with subtle texture and breathability. The all-over pattern is a signature detail of quality dressmaking, when embellishment was woven into the cloth itself.

A gently relaxed, yet tailored bodice with short sleeves creates ease through the shoulders, while the column shape skims the body without clinging. The self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist, offering you control over definition and fit. The straight cut balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the uninterrupted vertical line creates an elegant length.

Construction is clean and considered. A centre back seam, revovable belt and quality stitching speak to an era when garments were made to endure.

This colour works hard across seasons. Wear it with tan sandals and our Cane Like Clutch Handbag for summer, or layer with a fine knit cardigan and boots for cooler days. The emerald green pairs beautifully with both gold or silver jewellery and warm timber tones.

Investment dressing that transcends trend. Timeless silhouette, exceptional fabric, and a shade that never dates.

Vintage Clothing - Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage maxi is pure 1970s optimism in fabric form. The print is a brilliant mix of saturated greens with pops of violet, sunshine yellow and warm spice tones, arranged in graphic vertical panels that do what great vintage does best: create impact while quietly working in your favour. The neckline is a clean square, the straps are substantial and supportive, and the bodice has those thoughtful era details, including statement buttons and shaping through the torso, finishing in a sweeping skirt with a ruffled hem that moves like it has its own soundtrack.

Made in the 1970s, it has that wearable bohemian polish that feels just as right now with leather sandals and a basket bag (have you seen our Cane Like Clutch) as it does dressed up with a block heel and your favourite jewellery.

The vertical patterning is especially lovely if you like a lengthening line through the body, and it suits a range of proportions. If you are a bit fuller through the bottom half than the top half and want balance, or if you are broader through the shoulders or bust and like a neckline that frames that beautifully then this one's for you. Add a cropped denim jacket or a fine knit for cooler evenings, and let the dress do the heavy lifting while you simply show up and look unforgettable.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: With a bold spirit and a sharp eye for individuality, Isabel Haworth carved her place in New Zealand’s boutique fashion history when she opened Hadny 5 in 1964. Swapping mass production for one-off artistry, Isabel's silk dresses and hand-finished pieces offered wearers something rare: total exclusivity. Originally from Te Awamutu, she trained in Sydney before returning to New Zealand to pursue her own vision in creating striking, handcrafted garments from her lively Swanson Street boutique. With a flair for the romantic and an instinct for originality, Isabel’s work defined a new era of fashion for independent, style-conscious women of the 1960s and beyond.
