Lavender Floral Jacquard Pleated Maxi Skirt

Lavender Floral Jacquard Pleated Maxi Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The fabric of this skirt is a lovely tone-on-tone floral jacquard woven into soft lavender cotton blend, so the pattern only reveals itself as the light shifts across the surface. Up close it shows clusters of blooms and leaves rendered in the weave itself, no print, no dye, just the textile doing the work. The waistband sits smooth and structured, releasing into deep forward pleats that open out into a full, sweeping maxi skirt with genuine volume and movement. The silhouette has real presence from every angle, with the pleats falling cleanly from hip to hem.

The generous pleat release means this skirt moves well and accommodates a range of proportions through the hip and thigh without pulling or flattening. The structured waistband defines the natural waist clearly, which balances the volume of the skirt below. Those who carry more fullness through the hip will find the skirt flows rather than clings. Pair with a fitted silk or cotton top tucked in to make the most of that waistband, or layer with a relaxed blouse for an easier, more everyday feel.

Knowledge of the Hand Deep Violet Cotton Velvet Pencil Skirt

Knowledge of the Hand Deep Violet Cotton Velvet Pencil Skirt

$149.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something quietly commanding about a garment made by naval tailors. Gubb & Mackie, established in 1949 and carrying a reputation built on precision and discipline, brought that same exacting standard to this deep violet cotton velvet pencil skirt. The pile is soft and close, the colour a rich amethyst, and the construction is assured throughout. Wide waistband, angled front seam panels that draw the eye downward, a smooth viscose lining, a centre back zip and a neat back vent at the hem.

The high waistband anchors the silhouette firmly at the natural waist, making it ideal if you want to elongate the lower body and bring focus upward. The tulip shaping through the hip and thigh is close without being restrictive, and the back vent allows easy movement. Try it with a simple silk blouse tucked in, or a fitted knit in cream or black. Heels sharpen the look, but ankle boots work just as well for cooler weather evenings. A piece of New Zealand fashion history that will be a welcome addition to any modern wardrobe.

Indigo Teardrop Floral Double-Tier Ruffle Maxi Skirt

Indigo Teardrop Floral Double-Tier Ruffle Maxi Skirt

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something almost folk-art about this skirt, the way its deep indigo background is alive with tiny teardrops, wheat-shaped leaves, and clusters of hot pink and teal flowers scattered across the fabric in a repeating all-over print that feels both structured and wild at once. The silhouette is fitted at the waist before sweeping into a generous A-line that finishes in two stacked ruffle tiers, each one adding volume and movement at the hem. The easy-care fabric holds its shape well while still allowing the skirt to swing with each step. This is a maxi with real presence.

Tuck in a simple white tee or a fitted teal, yellow or pink knit letting the skirt take the lead. The high fitted waist defines and anchors, making it a strong choice if you prefer emphasis there, while the tiered hem draws the eye downward and adds a sweeping, floor-grazing drama that elongates the leg beautifully. The volume sits below the hip, so the silhouette stays clean through the middle and opens as it falls. Flat sandals keep it relaxed; espadrilles or boots shift it into evening territory easily.

Cobalt Blue Wool Silk Tie-Dye Trim Pencil Skirt

Cobalt Blue Wool Silk Tie-Dye Trim Pencil Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

That cobalt stops you. A rich, slightly heathered blue that only comes from quality wool blended with silk, the kind of fabric that holds its shape across decades without losing its softness. The body of this skirt is structured and smooth, weighted beautifully at the hip with a quiet authority. The real story is in the detail: three diagonal silk ribbon trims sweep across the front hip yoke in what looks to be hand-dyed terracotta, amber, teal and rose, each one a small colourful joy and stroke against that deep blue ground. Below the yoke, a cascade of tiered silk ruffle in the same tie-dye palette erupts from the side seam, bold and entirely unexpected against an otherwise tailored silhouette.

The pencil cut is fitted through the waist, hip and thigh, creating a clean line that elongates beautifully. The partially elasticated waist sits at the natural waist without pulling or pinching, making this genuinely comfortable to wear all day. Those diagonal trims draw the eye across the hip rather than straight across it, which distributes visual weight with real cleverness.

Pru Fischer New Zealand 1960s Midnight Navy Silk Pleated Floral Border Skirt

Pru Fischer New Zealand 1960s Midnight Navy Silk Pleated Floral Border Skirt

$149.00 $130.00 Save $19.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something quietly extraordinary about holding a piece of New Zealand fashion history in your hands. This authentic vintage silk skirt by Pru Fischer, crafted during the late 1960s domestic textile renaissance, carries the kind of considered artistry that simply does not exist in modern production. Weightless yet structured, the fluid knife pleats fall from a clean waistband with architectural precision, releasing into a full, sheer silk sweep that moves like water. At the hem, a painterly botanical meadow erupts into life: tall irises in blush and coral rise above drifts of wildflowers and delicate foliage, rendered with an illustrative hand that reads more like a garden painting than a print.

The high waistband draws the eye upward and defines the midsection cleanly, while the pleated volume below skims and floats rather than clings, making this silhouette generous and forgiving across the hip and thigh. The hemline print anchors the eye at the lower leg, creating a natural visual balance that elongates the figure. Pair it with a simple white tee for effortless daytime wear, or tuck in a fine-knit merino for a more weather friendly ensemble. This is investment dressing at its most poetic.

Archival 1990s Josep Font Silk Lamé Jacquard Maxi Skirt – Made in Spain

$369.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is something quietly captivating about a skirt that moves before you do. This full-length skirt by Spanish designer, Joseph Font captures that feeling perfectly, combining soft structure with a fluid silhouette that feels both romantic and modern.

A layered blue floral textile with a subtle tonal shift through the hem, the fabric catches light gently as it moves, creating depth without heaviness. The waist sits clean and defined, allowing the skirt to fall into a generous sweep that glides over the hips and lengthens the line of the body.

The cut celebrates proportion rather than trend. Volume builds gradually through the panels, creating movement that feels effortless rather than theatrical. Whether styled simply with a knit or elevated with silk textures, this is a piece designed to anchor a wardrobe with quiet confidence.

Pair with fine knits, silk blouses, or tailored jackets to highlight the skirt’s natural movement while maintaining a balanced silhouette. This skirt offers versatility without compromise. It invites personal styling while maintaining the elegance and craftsmanship that defines both designer intention and vintage design. Elsewhere this rare authentic item is valued at at $750 – $950+ NZD.

Vintage Clothing - Navy Wool-Blend Pinstripe Ruffle Wrap Skirt - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirt

Navy Wool-Blend Pinstripe Ruffle Wrap Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This Lemonhead skirt is a deep navy with fine pale-yellow/gold pinstripes, it has that tailored, slightly graphic look that reads polished, and playful thanks to the layered ruffle detail at the hip.

The silhouette sits neatly at the waist and skims through the hips, with the ruffle adding movement and a bit of drama without bulk. The fabric feels like a practical wool blend with an easy-care finish, which makes it a brilliant piece for cooler months.

Try it with a yellow knit and chartreuse loafers. Or lean into pattern with a hot-pink polkadot tee and navy velvet blazer for contrast. For evening, add a satin camisole in emerald and a red lip, then finish with metallic heels. If you want a softer palette, try lilac knitwear with butter-yellow earrings.

This shape is great if you like waist definition with a clean line through the tummy and hips. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the hips and thighs than the top half and want a skirt that skims rather than clings, with the ruffle detail drawing the eye in a flattering way.

Vintage Clothing - HANDBAG TEMPLATE 1950 - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Authentic Vintage Cerulean Teal Blue Easy Care A-Line Midi Skirt

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

That colour. A vivid, clear cerulean teal that looks wonderful against every skin tone and moves through every season of a wardrobe with complete ease. The skirt is cut from a fitted waist into a fluid A-line that swings beautifully through the midi length. The easy care fabric has a slight sheen and a soft drape that gives it a polished, easy quality. Side button and original zip closure, clean waistband.

Tuck in a fine-knit ivory or cream top and add tan heeled sandals for a summer lunch. A burnt orange or terracotta blouse tucked in creates a pairing that feels warm and considered. Try a crisp white fitted blazer over a simple black tee for something more structured. For cooler days, a camel or mustard knit tucked in works beautifully and grounds the colour without dulling it. The A-line cut moves away from the waist with ease, which suits those who carry more volume through the hip and thigh and want a clean, balanced line to the hem.

Vintage Clothing - Dark Chambray - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Authentic Vintage Mid Blue Cotton Chambray A-Line Midi Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This one has a detail that sets it apart from every other denim skirt you have ever owned. Two large patch pockets sit at the front hip, each finished with a bold red cross-stitch X that turns a simple utilitarian feature into something with real character.

The skirt is mid blue cotton chambray, cut from a fitted waist into a clean A-line that falls to midi length with easy, unhurried movement. The fabric has a smooth, slightly worn quality that makes it feel like a piece you have had forever. Back zip closure, clean waistband. Wear it with a fitted white or ivory blouse tucked in and tan leather loafers for something polished. A cherry red knit tucked in picks up the pocket stitching beautifully.

Try it with a striped Breton top and white sneakers for a weekend look, or a simple black fitted tee and hoop earrings for an evening that keeps things easy. The A-line cut suits those who carry more volume through the hip and thigh than the waist, skimming evenly from the waistband and creating a long balanced line to the hem. For those who are more evenly proportioned, it adds movement and ease without adding bulk. The midi length works well on all heights.|

Vintage Clothing - Light Chambray - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Authentic Vintage Baby Blue Cotton Chambray A-Line Maxi Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Soft and beautifully cut, this baby blue chambray maxi skirt sits at a neat fitted waist and releases into a full A-line sweep that falls to the ankle with real ease and movement. The colour is a quiet, washed blue that photographs beautifully and wears even better in person. The fabric is cotton chambray with a fine woven texture and a soft hand. It has the relaxed quality of a well-loved piece of clothing, the kind that feels broken-in from day one. The back zip sits flat and the waistband is clean and structured without being stiff.

Tuck in a fitted white or cream blouse or T-shirt and add neutral espadrille sandals for a summer afternoon that looks effortless. Wear it with our Baby Blue Sheer Woven Spot Blouse for a tonal look. A terracotta linen shirt worn loose and half-tucked works beautifully with the blue, as does a bold poppy red knit in cooler months. Add flat leather sandals or your favourite white sneakers and keep the top simple. The skirt does the talking. This skirt works especially well if you carry your volume more through the hip and thigh than through the waist, as the A-line cut skims evenly from the waist down and the full sweep through the hem creates a long, balanced line. It also suits those who are fairly even through the waist and hip and want a skirt with movement rather than structure. The maxi length elongates the leg regardless of height.

Vintage Clothing - London Affair Teal Silk Blend Vintage Pencil Skirt 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Skirt

London Affair Teal Silk Blend Vintage Pencil Skirt

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some skirts are born for the boardroom, others for the bar, and this one politely refuses to choose. It’s a beautifully tailored London Affair piece in a saturated teal that reads like peacock feather meets harbour water, with that deliciously textured silk-blend weave that looks expensive from five metres away.

Made in New Zealand and finished with fabric-covered details, it has that classic vintage knack for structure without stiffness. The waistband sits neatly, the line is clean and confident, and the little button detailing adds personality without getting precious about it.

Styling-wise, you can go crisp and modern with an oyster or butter-yellow blouse, or lean into colour with paprika, magenta, or aubergine up top. For work, try a cinnamon blazer and vintage gold earrings. For an event, a silky camisole in coral with a metallic heel turns this into a proper entrance.

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.

Chevron Stripe 1970s Wool Full Skirt

$129.00 $89.00 Save $40.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is warmth in this wool skirt, its chevron stripes moving between camel, chocolate and cream in a diagonal pattern that shifts direction at the centre front and back. The waistband sits high and fastens with a single button and zip while the body gathers generously below for a soft, swishing fullness through the hem. The wool has a brushed, slightly fuzzy hand that holds warmth well, and the chevron stripes are cut to align cleanly at the centre seams for a considered finish.

This skirt sits at the natural waist and releases into a full, floating panelled silhouette that skims over the hip and moves freely through the leg, offering plenty of room. The high contrast stripe pattern draws the eye outward and adds visual interest through movement. Pair with a fitted knit or blouse tucked in to let the fullness of the skirt take centre stage.
