A labelled Park Lane Regal Mesh shoulder bag with that fabulous mid-century Australian metal mesh finish. The aluminium mesh is made from small linked tiles in a deep silver tone, giving the surface a fluid, rippled fall across the front and sides. The structured silver-tone frame has a lightly textured finish, a ball kiss-lock clasp and a slim chain handle that sits neatly over the shoulder or in the hand. Inside, the pale satin-style lining has an internal pocket and the surviving label reads Made by Park Lane Handbags N.S.W. Genuine Regal Mesh.

Carry it with a satin camisole and wide-leg trousers, a fabulous vintage dress from another era, or a cream silk blouse and pencil skirt. Bring out the colour of the bag pairing with silver jewellery. It also has excellent dinner-out look with a charcoal knit and metallic sandals.

Vintage Clothing - Silver Glomesh Mesh Shoulder Bag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Silver Glomesh Mesh Shoulder Bag

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A little silver Glomesh moment, and honestly, sometimes that is all the outfit needs. This fold-over bag is made from aluminium links with that unmistakable fine mesh texture. The finish is silver-toned with a soft, reflective surface, and the original chain strap means it can sit on the shoulder or be carried as a clutch when tucked inside. The shape is clean and low-profile, with corner hardware adding a neat little punctuation mark.

This is the kind of evening bag that works just as happily with a black dress as it does with denim, a white shirt and red lipstick. Take it wedding guest, gallery opening, dinner out, or to the supermarket if the mood strikes, because Gen X knows the good bag should not be saved for one mythical “best” occasion.

Vintage Clothing - Black, Pewter and Gold Beaded Evening Bag and Belt Set - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Black, Pewter and Gold Beaded Evening Bag and Belt Set

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A fan of long feather style leaves spreads across the front of this evening bag, worked in black, pewter and pale gold beads, then repeats at the centre front of the matching belt. The fanned motif borrows from earlier deco lines, a look that came round again through the 80s. The bag takes a rounded pouch shape with a shaped top edge and hangs from a twisted cord strap. The belt is wide and contoured through the middle. Every outer surface is beaded right to the edges, with no plain ground left showing.

Wear the two together with a long column dress in garnet or deep teal. A pointed satin flat or a low heel will flatter the pairing better than anything with its own shine. They work apart just as well: the bag with tailored trousers and a silk shirt, the belt at the waist of a fine knit dress.

Vintage Clothing - Dark Charcoal Leather Shoulder Bag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Dark Charcoal Leather Shoulder Bag

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This dark charcoal leather shoulder bag has a wonderfully slim envelope shape, finished with a gently pointed flap and a curved brass bar that follows the line of the closure. The leather has softened beautifully with age, giving the surface a natural variation in tone and a low sheen rather than a polished gloss.

A long narrow leather strap allows it to sit comfortably from the shoulder, while the broad rectangular body gives you useful carrying space. Lift the flap and the bag is neatly lined in black, with an internal zipped pocket for the smaller things you would rather not spend five minutes searching for. The magnetic snap keeps the front securely closed.

The charcoal and aged brass combination works with an enormous range of colours. Try it with a rust, denim, red knitwear or emerald tailoring. It would also look particularly good against patterned wool, tweed or a floral where the simple shape gives the print an encore.

Vintage Clothing - Silver Sequin Floral Beaded Evening Clutch - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Silver Sequin Floral Beaded Evening Clutch

$79.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Silver sequins cover this neat little evening clutch, with clear beaded floral motifs worked across the front and a silver-tone metal frame at the top. The shape is compact and gently curved, with a kiss-lock clasp and satin lining inside. It has that lovely mid-century party bag feeling, the kind of piece that sits neatly in the hand and brings texture, sparkle and a little dress-up delight to even the plainest outfit. The beading gives the floral pattern a raised, tactile finish, so the surface has detail from every angle.

Carry it with a bias-cut slip dress, a sharp trouser suit, or a satin blouse with denim for a very good high-low moment. It would also be gorgeous with cream, pewter or cherry red for an evening out.

Vintage Clothing - Dana Buchman Metallic Monogram Vintage Shoulder Bag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Dana Buchman Metallic Monogram Vintage Shoulder Bag

$99.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This Dana Buchman shoulder bag has a wonderfully polished late-20th-century look, finished in a dark metallic pewter faux patent with the DB monogram embossed across the surface. The compact rectangular body is divided across the front with two useful pockets, each secured by its own substantial Dana Buchman push-lock clasp. A full-width zip runs across the top, and the long adjustable strap lets the bag sit comfortably at the shoulder or a little lower on the body.

The repeated monogram gives the faux patent surface its texture, while the gunmetal-toned finish, darker piping and chunky hardware keep the palette beautifully tonal. Inside, the red and black patterned lining is a rather fabulous surprise, with an additional zipped compartment for smaller essentials. The perfect size to carry just what you need.

Wear it with grey tailoring and cherry red shoes, or use the metallic finish against denim, cobalt, emerald or a strong patterned dress. The adjustable strap also makes it particularly useful when you want your hands free.

Vintage Clothing - Silver Lamé Evening Bag with Kiss Lock Frame - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Silver Lamé Evening Bag with Kiss Lock Frame

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something wonderfully theatrical about a bag that catches the light before you have even opened your mouth to say hello. This one is woven in a lamé lurex blend, a fine metallic thread running through a soft crosshatch weave that shimmers between silver and pewter depending on how it falls. The kiss lock frame opens to reveal a pale lining with a neat inner pocket, and the single looped handle sits at just the right length to carry on the forearm or slip over the shoulder for an evening out.

This is the kind of bag that turns a plain black dress into an outfit with a story attached. Carry it with tailored evening trousers and a simple blouse for a dinner that calls for a little shine, or let it be the one metallic note against a monochrome look. If you love a handbag with genuine presence in the hand, this one delivers.

Vintage Clothing - Oroton Silver Mesh 1960s Evening Bag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Oroton Silver Mesh 1960s Evening Bag

$110.00 $89.00 Save $21.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This mesh evening bag is a signature Oroton design, its surface made up of hundreds of tiny silver-tone discs linked into a fine, fluid fabric. The frame is finished with a soft scalloped edge, closing with a trio of ball-top clasps along the top bar, and a fine snake-link chain in double strands allows it to sit comfortably at the wrist or shoulder. Inside, a champagne satin lining carries the Oroton label at the centre of the pocket.

Metallic mesh like this holds its own without needing a partner in bold colour. Let it catch the light against a tailored wool coat in charcoal, or carry it through a long evening with a fluid silk skirt and quiet jewellery. It moves easily from a daytime lunch to an evening function, adding a soft shimmer that never overwhelms the rest of an outfit.

The brand later became known for metallic mesh accessories from the early 1950s, alongside scarves, handbags, wallets and leather goods that made Oroton a familiar name across Australia and New Zealand. A proper Australian fashion staple, vintage Oroton pieces are very much the ones collectors keep an eye out for.

Silver Starburst 1940s Evening Bag

This beaded evening bag carries real handwork in every inch of its surface. Fine glass seed beads and silver bugle beads radiate outward in a starburst pattern across the front and back, with clusters of small faux pearls scattered throughout.

Inside, a cream satin lining still soft to the touch.

An easy neutral, this bag sits perfectly against a contrasting textured dress, where the silver beading catches the light without competing for it. It carries beautifully into a long evening with wide-leg trousers and a simple vintage blouse, or tucked under one arm at a winter wedding, adding shine and elegance.

Vintage Clothing - Vintage Metallic Pewter Faux Snakeskin Buckle Tote Bag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Vintage Metallic Pewter Faux Snakeskin Buckle Tote Bag

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This tote makes an entrance through finish alone. The metallic pewter faux snakeskin shifts from silver to graphite to a deep bronze depending on the light and the angle, with silver hardware and a substantial buckle strap detail across the front giving it real presence on the shoulder. The scale and texture put it firmly in statement territory rather than an everyday neutral - unless that is your neutral.

Style it against soft blush pink for contrast that feels as though it compliments rather than takes over, or let it sit next to a jewel tone for something a little more directional. Mustard yellow brings out the warmth in the metallic tones, while rose will keep things gentler if you're easing into a statement piece for the first time. A strong single colour around it works better than a busy print.

Vintage Clothing - Vintage 50s Silver Pink Floral Beaded Handbag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Vintage 50s Silver Pink Floral Beaded Handbag

$99.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This delicious little beaded handbag is vintage handiwork at its prettiest. The softly rounded shape is covered in silvery bugle and seed beads, with pale pink flowers and minty green leaves worked across the front in a loose garden pattern. The reverse is quieter but no less lovely, with the silver beading sweeping into a radiating design around a single central flower.

The detailing continues right up to the frame, finished with a kiss clasp and a beautifully beaded handle. The handle shows discolouration to the beads from age and use, which you can see in the photographs, but it remains part of the original charm of the piece. Inside is a pale satin lining with a small internal pocket, giving you just enough room for the evening essentials.

Wear it with a black column dress and silver jewellery, or let those pale pink and green beads pick up something softer such as a blush knit, sage jacket or creamy silk blouse. Branch out and take it somewhere completely unexpected such as a denim-n-crisp shirt pairing with a metallic shoe.

Vintage Clothing - Vintage Dove Grey Aluminium Mesh Handbag - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Vintage Dove Grey Aluminium Mesh Handbag

$79.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

At least a few decades old and still looking remarkably current, this soft dove-grey mesh handbag has that wonderful disco-meets-dinner quality that works just as well now as it would have when it first went out for the evening. The aluminium mesh is made up of hundreds of tiny linked tiles, giving the surface a lovely fluidity and a subtle sparkle whenever it catches the light.

The envelope-style flap is edged with slim gold-tone metal, with a magnetic closure tucked neatly underneath. Inside, it opens to reveal an organised interior with multiple sections and zipped compartments, all finished in coordinating grey fabric. An original long fine metal mesh strap means you can wear it over the shoulder or across the body, then tuck it inside and clutch perfection in your hand when the occasion calls for something a little more glamorous.

Pair it with a black velvet dress and sculptural silver earrings for the evening, or take it completely out of its original context with a white tee, dark denim and boots. Try it against cobalt, deep plum or emerald where that delicate grey mesh becomes a rather fabulous neutral.

Vintage Clothing - Abstract Print Silk Clutch Purse - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Abstract Print Silk Clutch Purse

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Like a Matisse cut-out brought to life in textile form, this structured silk clutch carries its era with complete conviction. Bold arcs of cobalt, crimson, emerald, violet, and black move across the surface in an exuberant abstract composition, edged in the softest blush. The fuchsia grosgrain trim and jewel-toned lining give it an interior life as vivid as its exterior. Gold-tone hardware anchors the front flap.

Carry it against a column of ivory or camel to let the print be the only accessory you need. It will spark equally over a black tuxedo blazer or a fluid silk georgette blouse in deep teal. For evening, let it replace a statement necklace entirely. The print's earthy and jewel tones will lift autumnal moss, mustard, and burgundy effortlessly.

Vintage Green Leather Doctor’s Bag Handbag with Brass Frame Handle

$289.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Who needs a Birkin Bag when this vintage leather doctor’s bag has all the proper old-soul beauty, structured, substance, and made for life on the go. The shape is classic medical satchel, with a strong framed opening and a gleaming gold-tone handle that feels like it has stories to tell. The leather reads as a deep forest olive tone depending on the light, with that handsome patina only time can write.

Open it up and you get that satisfying wide-mouth access (no handbag rummage panic), plus a zip pocket inside for the smaller essentials that like to disappear. Think sharp, intentional tailoring, a silk blouse, a good coat, or a dressed-up denim day when you want your accessories to do the talking. Also, if you have ever wished your bag could hold your whole life without looking like it, this one is on your side.

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.

A teal lurex knit sweet handbag with a subtle metallic shimmer finished with a classic kisslock frame ... will give you that old-school evening glamour.

A proper Australian fashion staple, vintage Oroton pieces are very much the ones collectors keep an eye out for.
