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.

$189.00 $89.00 Save $100.00

Two fabrics, completely different in character, have been cut and assembled into something sensational. The upper body, collar, sleeves and hem band are solid magenta in a firm wool-rich blend knit with real substance and warmth. Triangular panels at the chest and a wide horizontal panel across the upper back are cut from a dense jacquard knit in cream and deep plum, carrying a bold scrolling paisley that almost mimics carved stonework from a distance and reveals its detail up close.

Through the shoulder and upper chest the solid magenta panels give good definition and width without bulk. This is a rescue piece with several areas of concern as shown, making it an ideal candidate for a skilled reworker or someone who wants a statement jacket project. Worn with character, or reworked into something that will last another thirty years.

Incredible Navy Silk Floral Sequin & Bead Cropped Evening Jacket

Incredible Navy Silk Floral Sequin & Bead Cropped Evening Jacket

$399.00 $389.00 Save $10.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some pieces make you stop mid-scroll and this is absolutely one of them! This extraordinary authentic vintage cropped evening jacket is entirely hand-beaded and sequinned on a silk ground, with clusters of oversized paillettes in pink, white and soft green layered to create three-dimensional floral blooms across the chest and shoulders. Between the flowers, a dense field of smaller iridescent sequins in midnight blue, teal and chartreuse catches and fractures the light in every direction. The neckline, hem and sleeve edges are finished with a couture-level trim of black spiked beads, larger disc sequins and polished black beads, a detail that could have taken a skilled artisan days to complete. The back is equally spectacular, the blooms tumbling across the shoulder blades with the same generosity as the front.

The cropped length sits just at the natural waist, which makes it a brilliant layering piece for a range of proportions. Worn over a sleek column dress or a simple high-neck top and slim skirt, it frames the shoulders and neckline beautifully while leaving the waist and lower body completely clean. This is the piece you wear when you want to walk into a room and not say a single word.

1970s Navy Mohair-Look Open Knit Cape

$89.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This navy cape is a beautifully crafted open-weave soft blended knit that drapes from the shoulders in a relaxed, sweeping silhouette with pointed hem corners and a simple scooped neckline. The texture is the whole story here, a loosely structured waffle-style knit that shifts between denser and more open sections, giving it a lovely visual depth and a lightness that belies its warmth. Understated, tactile and quietly brilliant.

Because it sits across the shoulders and sweeps outward from there, this cape works beautifully for a wide range of body proportions, adding visual width across the upper body while leaving the waist and hip completely free. Layer it over a fitted high neck shirt or blouse and slim tailored trousers for an easy autumn look, or throw it over a simple slip dress for an evening out when you want something a little more interesting than a cardigan.

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.

There are vintage pieces, and then there are works of skilled craftmanship seldom found in current garb. Tiny beads are hand-applied in sweeping curves and floral motifs across a lace background, punctuated by iridescent sequins that catch and scatter light with every movement. The base is a soft wool blend in pale baby blue, fully lined throughout in silk. Someone sat with this piece for a very long time, and the result is something that no longer exist in anything other than vintage and luxury fashion.

The cardigan is cropped, with three-quarter sleeves and a clean open front that fastens with original side hook and eye closures at the waist. The silhouette is neat and fitted without being structured, sitting just at the natural waist and working beautifully over a dress or a simple blouse underneath. Wear it over our Baby Blue Sheer Woven Spot Blouse with wide-leg trousers for a formal occasion. Layer it over a fitted black dress for an evening where you want the top half to do all the talking. This cardigan earns its place at a wedding, a significant birthday dinner, or simply worn on a Tuesday because life is short and beautiful things deserve to be worn!

Vintage Clothing - Suede Seventies Sensation - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Coats & Jackets

Seventies Sensation Clientell Suede Tan Tailored Jacket

$149.00 $129.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This Clientell suede jacket is that warm toffee-caramel tone. It has a beautifully tailored vintage shape with a proper collar and lapel, a nipped-in waist, and a longer line that sits around the upper hip.

The devil is in the details: panelled seams for structure, flap pockets, and a clean front closure that keeps the look polished rather than fussy. It is lined, so it slides on easily over knitwear and dresses.

Try it over a cobalt knit and wide-leg denim adding a bright cheerful scarf. It also looks great over a turquoise printed dress with mustard heels, or a patterned midi for an upbeat, modern clash.

This shape is great if you like definition through the waist with a jacket that skims the hips rather than cutting across them. It also works well if you are a bit fuller through the bust and shoulders and want shaping through the body without feeling boxed in.

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!
