Vintage Clothing - Pitlochry Scotland Pure New Wool Tartan Pleated Midi Skirt 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirts

Pitlochry Scotland Pure New Wool Tartan Pleated Midi Skirt

$129.00 $99.00 Save $30.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage skirt that makes everything else in your wardrobe behave. A Pitlochry tartan in deep navy and forest tones with teal, mustard, cream and fine warm accents running through the check. It has that proper Scottish wool feel and look, with the colour depth you only get when the fibre is doing the heavy lifting.

The cut is classic and beautifully wearable. A high waist with a structured waistband, then a clean A-line fall with crisp pleats that create movement without bulk. The pleats add swish and give the silhouette shape as you walk, while the waist stays defined and comfortable. It is also fully lined, so it slips on easily and sits smoothly over hosiery.

Styling wise, this one is a workhorse with personality. Pair it with a fitted knit or a simple tee tucked in to let the waistline shine. Add loafers or boots for everyday polish, or go full winter heroine with tights, a fine roll neck and a tailored coat. For a softer contrast, try it with a creamy blouse and a vintage brooch at the collar. The tartan does not need much help, it just needs good basics and a confident stride.

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 - 1970s Out On A Limb Ultrasuede Skirt Suit 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Outfit Sets

1970s Out On A Limb Ultrasuede Skirt Suit

$210.00 $199.00 Save $11.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Few fabrics define an era quite like the faux suede - Ultrasuede®. This authentic vintage 1970s skirt suit by the label 'Out On A Limb' captures the decade's obsession with luxury synthetics and streamlined tailoring. Rendered in a vivid emerald green, it offers the buttery soft texture of suede with the practical resilience that made this fabric a revolution.

The jacket features a clean, collarless neckline and an open front that creates a relaxed yet polished silhouette. Its boxy cut is perfectly balanced by the matching skirt, which sits at the natural waist and falls to a classic knee length. The skirt's elasticated waist ensures a comfortable and flexible fit.

This is a power suit with a soft touch. The vibrant hue is an instant mood lifter, while the minimalist lines allow for endless styling possibilities. Worn together, it is a statement of confident, coordinated style. Separately, the jacket adds a pop of colour to denim, while the skirt pairs beautifully with a simple silk camisole or slouchy sweater.

This is sustainable fashion that feels incredible against the skin. A piece of design history that proves innovation and style go hand in hand.

Vintage Clothing - Southwell NZ Made Stripe Print Blouse And High Waist A-Line Skirt Set 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Outfit Sets

Southwell NZ Made Stripe Print Blouse And High Waist A-Line Skirt Set

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage set that does the work for you. A Southwell two piece in a richly grounded palette of rust, forest green, cream and black, with horizontal stripe bands broken up by tiny florals and decorative border motifs. It reads polished from a distance, and up close the print has that satisfying, intricate detail vintage does so well.

The blouse is button-through with a sharp pointed collar and long sleeves finished with button cuffs. The collar has its own contrast patterning, which frames the face beautifully and gives the set a clean, finished look without needing extra fuss. The skirt sits high at the waist and falls into an easy A-line, creating movement while keeping the silhouette intentional and flattering.

Worn together, it is a full outfit with proper presence. The high waist and A-line shape define the waist and let the skirt skim comfortably through the hips and thighs, so you get that classic proportion play without anything feeling tight or restrictive. Add loafers and a trench for weekday polish, or wear it with boots and a long coat when the weather turns. You can also split the set easily: the blouse works brilliantly with denim or tailored trousers, and the skirt pairs well with a crisp tee or fine knit.

This is a New Zealand made vintage set with real wardrobe value, because it gives you multiple looks while still feeling like one cohesive story.

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 - Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirt

Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage Etam skirt is pure 1990s colour confidence, the kind that makes a simple outfit look instantly considered. A graphic green base is dotted with chartreuse blooms in a playful grid, finished with hot pink piping at the waistband and two statement buttons that feel like a little wink from the era. The shape is a clean A-line mini with a structured waistband, so it sits neatly and keeps its line, which is exactly why these vintage cuts still feel so sharp today.

Style it with a crisp white tee and loafers for modern French-girl ease, or go full weekend with a fine knit camisole and trainers, then add a blazer when you want a bit more polish. The high waist is especially flattering if you like definition through your middle, or if you are a bit fuller through the bottom half than the top half and want a skirt that skims without clinging. It also works beautifully if you are broader through the shoulders or bust, because the strong waistband creates balance and gives your outfit a clear shape. This is one of those rare, cheerful pieces that does not try too hard, it just shows up and makes everything else look better.

By the 1960s, the house evolved into a refined ready-to-wear label for the modern woman offering structured tailoring, quietly luxurious fabrics, and clean lines long before “quiet luxury” became a trend.
