Vintage Clothing - 1980s Lancôme Paris Seafoam Gold Lace Skirt Set 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Lancôme Paris Seafoam Lace And Gold Metallic Two Piece Set

$249.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This enchanting two-piece set sits right at the crossroads of fashion and beauty history. Bearing the label of luxury French cosmetics house Lancôme Paris, this authentic vintage ensemble likely dates to the 1980s, a decade that adored a little Jazz Age romance and made it feel fresh again.

Crafted from delicate seafoam lace woven throughout with a fine gold metallic thread, the finish has a soft, luminous glow. The silhouette tips its hat to the 1920s through simplicity rather than fuss, with a straight, waist-length blouse that sits neatly at the natural waist, paired with a clean, straight skirt. At the neckline, a contrasting cream lace appliqué adds a whisper of Edwardian charm, like a well-chosen antique detail for your collarbone.

This set is sheer and designed to be worn over a slip. Worn together, it reads like an elegant, era-referencing “dress” while still giving you the versatility of separates. Worn separately, the blouse looks sublime over a camisole with wide-leg trousers, while the skirt brings texture and glint to a simple silk tee or fine knit.

Layer it over a seafoam, cream, or pale gold slip for a seamless look, or choose a deeper tone underneath for contrast that lets the lace pattern stand up and introduce itself properly. Add pearls for a 1920s nod, or keep it modern with sculptural metallic jewellery and sleek heels.

It is a piece for the collector who loves provenance, and for the dresser who wants something truly distinct. Delicate, dazzling, and seriously hard to forget.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: Lancôme Paris is best known as a prestige French beauty house, founded in 1935 and built on the idea of luxury presentation and polished femininity. In the late 20th century, cosmetics brands occasionally commissioned limited fashion and promotional pieces to support counter displays, events, editorial partnerships, and brand-led campaigns. Items like this Lancôme-labelled lace set are typically produced in small runs and were not part of mainstream retail fashion distribution, which is why surviving examples are uncommon. For collectors, that crossover between a globally recognised heritage brand and an authentic period garment adds provenance, scarcity, and display-worthy appeal, all of which support its collectable value.

Vintage Clothing - Kangol Seafoam Fluffy Beret With Braided Trim 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Kangol Seafoam Fluffy Beret With Braided Trim

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A cloud-soft Kangol beret in that perfect seafoam tone, finished with a braided ribbon trim that gives it structure and polish. It reads Parisian, but with a distinctly wearable, everyday ease.

The fluffy texture is the star here. It adds dimension and a little light-catching softness around the face, which is incredibly flattering. The braided trim frames the edge like a subtle crown, keeping the silhouette tidy so it looks styled rather than slouchy. It is the sort of piece that can swing from gallery day to dinner, without changing your whole look.

Style it with a trench and loafers for a crisp, classic vibe. Pair it with a chunky knit and denim for weekend ease. Or lean into full vintage glamour with a tailored coat, gloves, and a bold lip. Seafoam also plays beautifully with cream, navy, chocolate, charcoal, and soft pink.

Vintage Clothing - Iridescent Lurex Blend Evening Gown with Cowl Back 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Iridescent Lurex Blend Evening Gown with Cowl Back

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some dresses don't just catch light, they transform it. This authentic vintage evening gown is pure liquid shimmer.

Crafted in a soft lurex blend with an iridescent finish, the fabric shifts colour with every movement. Peacock tones of teal, purple, bronze, gold, and green ripple across the surface like oil on water. The effect is hypnotic, catching candlelight and attention in equal measure.

The silhouette is elegantly understated. A scoop neckline sits close to the collarbone, while decorative shoulder details add subtle interest. The real drama is at the back: a deep cowl drape creates movement and elegance, the fabric falling in soft folds. The column cut skims the body in a straight line to the floor, creating length and sophistication.

This is evening dressing with presence. The lurex blend provides subtle sparkle without looking costume, while the iridescent finish ensures you're never the same colour twice. Pair it with simple heels and minimal jewellery to let the fabric take centre stage.

The kind of gown that becomes a story. Timeless, dramatic, unforgettable.

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 1970s Pomare Hawaii Sunray Pleated Caftan – Neon Tropical Floral Maxi Dress | Painted Bird NZ

$249.00

Bring dramatic island opulence to your wardrobe with this showstopping archival 1970s caftan by the resort wear masters at Pomare Hawaii. A spectacular statement piece of true Polynesian fashion history, this maxi dress features a vibrant tropical botanical print blooming in vivid, high-saturation jewel-toned neon greens, deep royal blues, and electric turquoise that beautifully shift color in the light.

The architectural sunray accordion pleating fans out dramatically into a fluid A-line silhouette, cascading beautifully with every step to give this piece the charm of a sweeping, wearable painting. Crafted with a dramatic batwing cape silhouette, it is finished with a flattering scoop neckline and a delicate fabric ribbon tie that adds a quietly ornate touch to the design. Perfect for modern vintage connoisseurs, this rare treasure brings effortless old-Hollywood drama to any upscale summer garden party, coastal resort look, or luxury lounge archive.

Style against structural metallic gold jewelry, platform sandals, or sleek hair updos to echo its romantic, theatrical palette. It also lends beautiful contrast when worn as a dramatic evening gown or paired with oversized sunnies for a luxurious, sun-drenched resort aesthetic.

ABOUT THE DESIGNER: Emerging from the sun-drenched shores of Honolulu during the golden age of jet-set tourism, Pomare Hawaii was a premier master of mid-century Polynesian resort wear. While classic Hawaiian fashion of the late 1960s and 1970s relied on simple, flat silhouettes, Pomare became legendary for its rare, avant-garde structural innovations. This exceptional label specialized in capturing the vivid, high-saturation romance of the islands through breathtaking tropical prints, elevating them into wearable art via meticulous sunray accordion pleating. Rather than standard cotton apparel, Pomare's pleated masterpieces utilized cutting-edge mid-century textile engineering to hold razor-sharp, fluid creases that dance beautifully with every step. Today, surviving garments from Pomare's coveted pleated archives are extraordinarily hard to find and fiercely pursued by international Tiki-culture collectors as pristine, sculptural artifacts of vintage Hawaiian glamour.

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.

1960s Philip Askew London Wool Coat - STYLISTS COLLECTION

$210.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the sort of coat that makes tartan feel sharp, not costume. The palette is rich and grounded, with a classic green base crossed with red, white, and fine dark lines that read as tailored and intentional.

Made under the Philip Askew London label and made in New Zealand, it is cut in a clean, straight silhouette with a wide notched collar that frames the neckline beautifully. The front closes with tonal buttons, and the coat keeps its lines tidy through the body, giving you that polished, column-like shape that vintage does so well.

At the hips, the coat features flap pockets with a smart angled detail that echoes the check, adding structure without adding bulk. It is the kind of piece that sits neatly over knitwear and dresses, then still looks composed when worn open.

Fabric-wise, it has that fine wool blend feel with a smooth finish that holds shape and wears with confidence. A proper outer layer, made for real life.

Vintage Clothing - 1970s Sage Green Jersey Maxi Dress 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

1970s Sage Green Jersey Maxi Dress

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

There is a quiet sophistication to this 1970s maxi dress that feels incredibly modern. Rendered in a soft sage green that fades gently into a cream ombré hem, it captures the era's love for fluid lines and ethereal detail.

The fabric appears to be a fluid jersey, offering both comfort and a beautiful drape. The design features a high neckline with an attached tie detail to add a touch of structure without stiffness. Long, fitted sleeves and a matching belt create a long, lean silhouette.

The skirt is the true highlight. Constructed with clever panelling, it skims the hips before flaring out gently to create movement as you walk. This cut is brilliant for creating length. It defines the waist while gliding over the lower body, making it a flattering choice if you want to highlight your middle while keeping a relaxed line through the legs.

Wear it with knee-high leather boots for a grounded autumnal look, or switch to ankle booties or heels to elevate the effect for evening. This is effortless, comfortable glamour.

Vintage Clothing - Le Canari Sage Green Chinoiserie Frog Closure Jacket ' VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Le Canari Sage Green Chinoiserie Frog Closure Jacket

$169.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Originally brought to New Zealand from the UK, this Le Canari jacket is a wearable conversation starter, the kind you keep reaching for because it oozes style. The base is a soft silk in sage green with a smooth, satin-like finish, printed with painterly florals in pinks, lilacs, and sunny accents. Then it gets even better: the contrast panels in a geometric key pattern add structure and a crisp frame, especially through the front placket, cuffs, and pockets.

The frog closures give it that classic chinoiserie influence, while the overall shape stays modern and easy, hip length, relaxed through the body, and ideal for layering. It is brilliant over a simple dress, sharp with tailored trousers, and unexpectedly cool with denim.

It reads like collected style. Not trend. Not costume. Just a great jacket with a point of view.

Vintage Clothing - Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Midnight Sparkle 1960s Shift Dress

$169.00 $149.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic 1960s shift dress is a quiet showstopper. It is cut in a classic, clean-lined mini-length silhouette with long sleeves and a softly rounded neckline, then finished with a delicate scalloped white trim of faux pearls at the collar and cuffs for that looks perfectly polished. The fabric has a fine all-over green hued shimmer that reads like metallic thread woven through a deep navy base, a very era-true way of doing evening glamour without sequins or fuss.

Vintage Clothing - Midnight Garden Floral Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Dresses

Midnight Garden Floral Flutter Sleeve Maxi Dress

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This is the kind of authentic vintage maxi that makes an entrance quietly, then keeps turning heads. A dark, inky base is scattered with painterly florals in lilac, peach, butter yellow and leafy greens, all floating through a sheer, lightweight outer layer that moves beautifully as you walk.

The neckline is a soft V with a shaped bust and a gentle seam line that gives definition without feeling fussy. Those double flutter sleeves are pure romance, giving airy coverage and gorgeous motion, with a silhouette that skims the body in that confidence-boosting way true vintage does so well.

The full length hem drifts and sways, making it perfect for garden weddings, candlelit dinners, or a 'just because it’s Tuesday' moment with whatever shoes or sandals meet your mood. Add a leather jacket in cooler months and make it transseasonal.

This dress carries a clear 1970s mood through the maxi length, floaty fabrication and flutter sleeve construction.

Olive Green Textured Shift Dress with Asymmetric Collar

$99.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Sophistication doesn't always need to announce itself. This authentic vintage dress from the 1980s - 1990s understands restraint.

Crafted in olive green cotton blend easy care fabric with a subtle textured pattern throughout, the dress catches light quietly. The real design moment is at the neckline: an asymmetric collar detail wraps across one shoulder and fastens with a single button, creating architectural interest without fuss. It's the kind of detail that makes people look twice.

Long sleeves finish with button-tab cuffs, a tailored touch that adds polish. The fitted silhouette skims the body in a flattering shape and the centre back split for ease of movement. This cut works beautifully whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the straight lines will create elegant proportion.

Pair it with boots and a structured bag for work, or add statement earrings and heels for evening. The olive green works across seasons, equally at home with autumn tones or spring neutrals.

Timeless, wearable, endlessly versatile. The kind of dress that earns its place in your wardrobe.

DESIGNER INFORMATION: From the designers," This dress is the 'Mary-Jane' from our 'Ma Fetiche' Winter 2009 collection inspired by shoes. It included beautiful pieces with names like Brogues skirt, Stiletto strides, Slingback dress, Clog jacket, Loafer shorts & so on... and of course the Mary-Jane dress which came in olive & burgundy colourways. A lovely slightly quirky collection. Looking back it was kinda early 'Andy Warhol' culture! We hope it finds another good home & continues to be loved & enjoyed for many more years Jill+Ange
