Ivory 1960s Wildflower Meadow Embroidered Folk Blouse

Ivory 1960s Wildflower Meadow Embroidered Folk Blouse

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Soft as pressed petals and delicately embroidered with vivid wildflowers, this authentic vintage blouse carries the charm of hand-finished craftsmanship from another era. The airy ivory fabric drapes lightly through the body, while vibrant blue, coral, green and butter yellow embroidery blooms across the neckline and sleeves like a stitched meadow in full colour. Zigzag embroidered shoulder detailing and softly gathered sleeves add gentle structure, balanced by a sharp collar and relaxed silhouette. There is something wonderfully romantic about it, equal parts artist, traveller and treasure tucked carefully away for decades.

Easy to style with tailored trousers, denim or a sleek pencil skirt, this blouse moves beautifully between everyday wear and special occasions. The softly fluid cut skims comfortably without clinging, while the embroidery naturally draws the eye upward through the shoulders and neckline. The relaxed shape allows ease through the middle and bust, making it especially lovely for those who prefer softness without losing definition. Pair with a structured blazer further showcasing the neckline detail and a floaty skirt for a beautifully balanced silhouette.

Vintage Clothing - HANDBAG TEMPLATE 1990 (Copy) - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Chat Blanc Paris Cream Silk Textured Blouse

$89.00 $69.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Luminous cream silk with a delicately raised tonal pattern, this elegant Chat Blanc Paris blouse carries the quiet refinement of understated French dressing. The silk catches light softly across its textured surface, creating movement and depth without excess. Its relaxed sleeve silhouette and fluid drape evoke effortless sophistication, equally suited to tailored evening dressing or softened everyday layering. The neckline sits gently across the collarbone, balancing the fluidity of the silk with clean, minimal structure.

The straight cut skims rather than clings, making it an easy and versatile piece for a range of proportions. The softly dropped shoulder line broadens the upper frame beautifully, while the fluid silk allows natural movement through the middle and bust. Styled tucked into high-waisted tailoring or worn loose over slim trousers, it offers timeless elegance with minimal effort.

Vintage Clothing - Emerald Knot Vintage Earrings 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Earrings

Emerald Knot Vintage Earrings

$49.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A pair of vintage earrings with that instant “put together” energy. Sculptural, glossy deep green and wrapped with warm gold tone metal, they look like a ribbon twist caught mid-movement. The shape feels a little 1980s power-dressing, a little modern gallery gift shop, in the best possible way.

Wear them with a crisp white shirt and a red lip when you want clean contrast, or let them echo a green knit, silk blouse, or tailored blazer. They sit close to the face and bring a rich, flattering glow near the cheekbones without shouting for attention. If your wardrobe leans neutral, these are the kind of accessory that makes it look like you planned your outfit on purpose (even if you absolutely did not).

Choosing authentic vintage accessories keeps beautiful workmanship in circulation and sidesteps the churn of disposable new production. Good taste, kept moving.
