Seen as early as the 17th century, the exotic and decorative style 'Chinoiseries' is repeated in architecture, furnishings and fashion alike. Popular with, and worn by, those who value the unique garment with flair! The Art Deco eras are awash with chinoiserie garments similar to this formidable piece!

This is a beautiful albeit 'wounded' example of craftmanship, delicate quality fabric and enduring fashion. At least 30 years young, we included this in our collection due to the unusual colour and artwork. While it may need care, this jacket or robe remains is a stylish 'head turner'.

Bring an 'edgy' look to jeans and t-shirt or, over a slimline dress or skirt combination. Wear with wide leg trousers to emulate the Deco eras. Or, simply wear around the house for a bit of vintage decadence. Wear it your way - be your own bird.

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!
