Vintage Clothing - Vintage Beaded Floral Embroidered Shoulder Bag 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Vintage Beaded Floral Embroidered Shoulder Bag

$89.00 $69.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A soft, tapestry-like textile base in warm natural tones is scattered with petite florals and leafy trails, then elevated with iridescent beadwork that catches the light in blue-green and antique-gold flashes as you move. It has that hand-finished character you can feel, the kind that makes a lot of modern accessories seem slightly too rushed.

The shape sits neatly under the arm with an adjustable shoulder strap, and the top zip keeps everything secure. Inside you will find a dark brown lining and a practical zip pocket for the smaller essentials you like to keep easy to grab.

For styling, lean into colour rather than defaulting to neutrals. This pairs beautifully with a chambray or indigo denim look, creamy oatmeal linen, olive or moss tailoring, a rust or terracotta knit, a deep teal slip, or a soft mustard blouse. It is also gorgeous against warm browns, chocolate, and aubergine, and it can even lift a denim skirt and a simple tank into something a bit more considered.

Vintage Clothing - 1980s Rainbow Glass Bobble Cluster Clip On Earrings 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

1980s Rainbow Glass Bobble Cluster Clip On Earrings

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This curated selection of vintage earrings is perfect for any of our Painted Birds. Each piece has the unique ability to compliment both the wearer and brings panache, style and a little edginess to whatever you are wearing.

Simply inspired.

These joyful 1980s maximalist clip ons are a celebration of colour. Layers of glossy faux glass bobbles in red, cobalt, emerald, violet and sapphire sit alongside polished gold tone spheres, creating a vibrant cluster that feels sculptural and expressive. They frame the face beautifully and draw the eye upward, adding depth and dimension without overwhelming your features.

Pair them with a deep teal silk blouse, a mustard knit, electric blue tailoring or a rich berry dress. They thrive with colour and reward bold styling. For evenings, try them against satin in jewel tones. For daytime, let them elevate denim and a crisp chartreuse shirt.

There is of course only one of each of these delicate pieces for our store so each bird remains unique. Light catching and full of personality, each one is a treat for your ears.

Vintage Clothing - Vintage Maximalist Red Starburst Stud Earrings with Pearl Drops 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Vintage Maximalist Red Starburst Stud Earrings with Pearl Drops

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A bright ruby-red centre faux stone sits inside a ring of glossy beads, then blooms outward into faceted petals that flash peacock tones as you move.

Three delicate strands of faux pearls drop from each stud, finished with oil-slick teardrop beads that swing like tiny punctuation marks. Bold, graphic, and surprisingly wearable, they do the drama while you get to keep the rest of the look clean and confident.

Style them with monochrome, then let the colour story sneak in via accessories: a cobalt clutch, a chartreuse heel, a magenta lip, or a teal scarf tied at the neck. They also look brilliant with sleek suiting, a simple slip dress, or a crisp tee and satin skirt when you want a dressy look without changing your whole personality.

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 necessarily be of an actual Asian design. Painted Bird has an array of garments we consider 'chinoiserie' from many 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 Style Red & White Polka Dot Cotton Tie Back Dress

Vintage Style Red & White Polka Dot Cotton Tie Back Dress

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Red and white polka dots are pure vintage style shorthand, but it is the back of this cotton dress that makes you look twice. From the front, the high round neckline and sleeveless fitted bodice keep everything beautifully neat. Turn around and a long open panel runs through the back, crossed with five little self-fabric ties before meeting the zip at the waist.

The bodice is shaped beneath the bust and through the waist, then releases into a generously gathered full skirt that falls to the ankle. That contrast between the close-fitting upper half and all that cotton through the skirt gives the dress its wonderful silhouette, with plenty of movement without needing layers underneath.

Try it with cobalt sandals and chunky silver jewellery, or add a cropped cardigan in sunflower yellow with simple white sneakers. For something a little dressier, metallic heels and oversized earrings would work beautifully, while turquoise accessories give the red another direction entirely.

This shape works well if you like definition through the bodice and waist with plenty of room through the hips and thighs. The full gathered skirt gives generous movement, while the open tie-back detail adds interest without changing the clean line from the front.

Misty Lang New Zealand 70s Style Maxi Dress

Misty Lang New Zealand 70s Style Maxi Dress

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This burnt red or orange dress has a beautifully fluid finish with the softly weave of vintage, a clean V neckline and extended cap sleeves that give just enough coverage while keeping the upper line light.

The shape is beautifully straightforward: gently fitted through the bodice, drawn in at the waist with elasticated gathering at the rear, then released into a long skirt that falls almost to the floor. There is plenty of movement through the lower half without layers, pleats or extra fuss, which lets the colour and fluidity of the cut shine.

Try it with metallic sandals and statement or bohemian style oversized earrings for an evening event, or bring in a little neutral contrast with moss heels and a small brown bag. A cropped jacket would sharpen it for cooler weather, while turquoise jewellery or a printed silk scarf could take it somewhere a little less expected.

This shape works well if you like definition at the waist with more room through the hips and thighs. The V neckline also gives a clean open line through the upper body, while the softly extended shoulder helps balance proportions without adding bulk.

Scarlet 1970s Chevron Seam Jersey Maxi Dress

Scarlet 1970s Chevron Seam Jersey Maxi Dress

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This scarlet maxi dress moves in a single unbroken sweep, cut from an easy care fabric that keeps its shape through wear. The bodice is built from a series of chevron seams, each one meeting at a sharp point down the centre front and again at the low V of the back, framing the neckline rather than filling it. Long sleeves taper smoothly to the wrist keeping the line clean from shoulder to cuff. Below the waist, the skirt opens into a full circle, held closed at the back by a concealed zip, so the fabric has room to fall and swing rather than sit flat.

The fitted waist gives shape through the middle before the skirt releases fully. The V neckline front and back means it can easily carry either statement or simple jewellery. The full skirt suits dancing, walking and sitting just as nicely, and the colour is pure statement of confidence from across a room, no coat or wrap required to complete the look.

Canterbury New Zealand 1970s Bold Geometric Block Print Short Sleeve Blouse

Canterbury New Zealand 1970s Bold Geometric Block Print Short Sleeve Blouse

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Cobalt, crimson and warm sand colours collide across this extraordinary authentic vintage blouse in a graphic block print. Made in New Zealand under the Canterbury label, this piece captures the full chromatic confidence of mid-century design with the interlocking rectangles and curved stripe detailing read almost architectural, their bold geometry balanced by the smooth, easy-care knit fabric that holds the print with razor-sharp clarity. Short set-in sleeves, a wide pointed collar with serious 1970s presence, and a neat button-through front placket complete a silhouette that is entirely of its era and completely wearable right now.

The gently fitted body of the shirt skims down your frame, making it flattering across a range of proportions. The straight hem sits at the hip and works equally beautifully tucked into high-waisted tailored trousers, low slung denim or a sleek black midi skirt, letting the print take all the visuals from the waist up. The vertical line elements within the print naturally draw the eye upward and elongate the torso, while the wide collar frames the shoulders and décolletage with real flair. Style it simply: this blouse needs nothing but confidence and a big cheesy grin.
