Diagonal Stripe Pleated Scarf in Autumn Tones 'VIP'

Diagonal Stripe Pleated Scarf in Autumn Tones 'VIP'

$39.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Colour in motion. This authentic vintage scarf knows how to make an entrance.

Crafted in pleated polyester, the fabric holds its sculptural texture beautifully. Three bold diagonal stripes run the length of the scarf: olive green, deep burgundy, and vibrant coral. The colour combination is pure mid-century confidence, warm and rich without being predictable. The permanent pleating adds dimension and movement, catching light as the fabric shifts.

This is the kind of scarf that transforms an outfit. Drape it loosely around the neck for a pop of colour against neutral coats, tie it at the throat for a more structured 1960s look, or wrap it as a headscarf for weekend elegance. The easy care polyester means it travels well and keeps its shape.

The diagonal stripes create visual interest from every angle, the pleating ensuring the scarf never lies flat or lifeless. Wearable art that requires no effort. Just colour, texture, and a little bit of swagger.

Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress 'VIP'

Gerber Exclusiv Metallic Lamé Pleated Cocktail Dress 'VIP'

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some dresses arrive with their own light source. This authentic vintage piece from German designer, Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg is one of them.

Crafted in metallic lamé with a viscose base, the fabric shimmers with every movement. An impressionistic pattern flows across the surface in jewel tones: emerald green, gold, rust, turquoise, and coral blend together like an abstract painting. The metallic finish catches light beautifully, transforming throughout the day from subtle gleam to full radiance.

The silhouette is pure elegance. A sleeveless bodice with a round neckline sits close to the body before gathering at the natural waist, creating a gentle blouson effect. Below, an accordion-pleated skirt fans out in glorious fullness, the fine pleating adding texture and movement. This shape works beautifully across different body types: the fitted bodice defines the waist, while the pleated skirt balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs.

German craftsmanship at its finest. Gerber Exclusiv Hamburg was known for exceptional fabrics and construction, and this dress delivers both. The pleating is permanent-set, a technical achievement that ensures the skirt maintains its sculptural form.

Cocktail dressing with presence. Pair it with your favourite heels and minimal jewellery to let the fabric take centre stage.

Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse 'VIP'

Italian Kelly Green Ruffle-Placket Blouse 'VIP'

$130.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

If your wardrobe loves a little colour with good manners, this one is calling your name. This Italian blouse comes in a vivid kelly green with a smooth, satin-like finish that catches the light beautifully. The shape is softly easy through the body with short sleeves, so it feels polished without feeling fussy. The rounded neckline is finished with a neat trim and a sweet front tie, while the centre front features a pleated and ruffled placket that gives instant interest and a flattering vertical line.

Around the back, it fastens with a button-through closure using small, light-coloured buttons, which keeps the front clean and lets the detailing do the talking. The overall design nods to late 1960s into 1970s Italian boutique styling, where a blouse could be both practical and a little bit showy in the best way.

Style it tucked into a high-waisted pencil skirt for confident, body-celebrating shape, or wear it with tailored trousers and a simple heel for effortless 'I have taste' energy. Add a gold hoop or a crisp red lip if you feel like turning the dial up.

Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons 'VIP'

Emerald Green 1960s Vest with Silver Buttons 'VIP'

$129.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The art of layering begins here. This authentic vintage gillet proves that the simplest pieces often work the hardest.

Crafted in emerald green easy care fabric with a subtle texture, the fabric has weight and presence without bulk. The sleeveless design creates a clean vertical line, while the open front allows for endless styling possibilities. A deep V-neckline elongates the torso beautifully, flattering whether you carry more fullness through the bust or prefer a more streamlined silhouette.

The A-line cut gently skims away from the body, creating elegant movement and balance. If you have broader shoulders or a fuller bust, the open front and V-neck draw the eye down rather than across. If you carry more through the hips and thighs, the longer length and A-line shape provide graceful coverage while maintaining proportion.

Silver button detailing on the front hip pockets adds a touch of polish, three on each side catching light with every step. Construction is impeccable, with clean seaming and a structured shoulder line that holds its shape.

Layer it over high neck light sweaters and blouses for cooler months, or wear it as a statement piece over silk camisoles or slip dresses for evening. This is the kind of vest that builds a wardrobe. Timeless, versatile, endlessly wearable.

Green Prism Collar Dress 'VIP'

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage dress has that unmistakable 1970s attitude: a clean, sleek green bodice with an exaggerated pointed collar in a vivid geometric print, then a matching printed skirt that brings the movement. The collar length and shape are a big clue to the era, and the neat front button placket adds to that tailored, daytime to dinner polish that seventies dressing did so well.

Construction wise, the silhouette is built through shaping seams and a defined join where the skirt is set in, giving structure up top and an easy swish below. The crisp collar suggests interfacing for that sharp line, and the colour matched buttons keep the look intentional rather than fussy.

Let the collar be your jewellery and keep the neckline clear, then choose a simple sandal for day or a heeled mule for evening. If you are a bit fuller on your bottom half than your top half, the bold collar visually balances the look beautifully, while the skirt does its job with confidence and ease.

You wont find another with this sensational swish!

This authentic vintage round felt hat is the kind of finishing touch that makes everything else in your outfit look more intentional.

The felt has a velvety, winter-ready texture that holds its shape, giving you that classic vibe even when you are in denim and boots.

Style it with a camel coat and black sunglasses for city chic! It is especially flattering if you love drawing the eye upward, balancing your look with a strong accessory, or adding structure around the face without needing a wide brim.

It is a standout piece, the kind you reach for whenever the day calls for a little more presence.

Emerald Meenakari Hand-Painted 1960s Drop Earrings 'VIP'

Emerald Meenakari Hand-Painted 1960s Drop Earrings 'VIP'

$69.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Small treasures with enormous personality. These authentic vintage earrings from the 1960s are a masterclass in meenakari enamel work, the ancient Indian technique of hand-painting metal with colour.

Each earring features a two-tier drop design. At the top, a sunburst stud in emerald green enamel with a golden centre catches light like a tiny medallion. Below, a spherical bead becomes a miniature canvas, hand-painted with intricate floral motifs. White daisies with jewel-toned emerald centres bloom against a rich background of burgundy, gold, and scattered touches of turquoise and coral. The craftsmanship is exquisite, every petal carefully applied by hand.

These are screw-back earrings, designed for comfort and security. The scale is delicate but the impact is anything but. They sit close to the ear, creating elegant movement without weight. Perfect for adding a pop of colour to neutral dressing or complementing our authentic vintage pieces.

Wearable art from an era when even the smallest accessories were made with care offering a slice of storytelling.

Emerald Burnout Velvet Cocktail Dress 'VIP'

Emerald Burnout Velvet Cocktail Dress 'VIP'

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage dress likely crafted in the 1960s is made in a burnout velvet style, a labour-intensive technique where the pile is chemically etched away to create pattern through texture. The result is pure theatre: rich emerald velvet flowers emerge against sheer organza, the interplay of opacity and light creating depth with every movement. This is mid-century craftsmanship at its most luxurious.

The silhouette is elegantly understated. A fitted bodice with a flattering V-neckline draws the eye to the collarbone and décolletage, while short cap sleeves provide coverage without bulk. The self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist with the column skirt skimming the body gracefully, balancing proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs.

Construction speaks to quality. A concealed back zipper, careful seaming, and high end-finishing details throughout confirm this dress was made to last.

Style it with your favourite black court shoes and simple jewellery for cocktails, or add a silk clutch and statement earrings for evening events. The burnout velvet catches candlelight beautifully, making this the dress for after-dark occasions.

Investment dressing with presence. A piece that commands attention and never apologises for it.

Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION 'VIP'

Etam Pop Bloom Mini Skirt - STYLIST COLLECTION 'VIP'

$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.

Emerald Diamante Column Dress 'VIP'

$199.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Some colours demand to be noticed. Crafted in mid-weight emerald green cotton with delicate eyelet detailing throughout, the fabric catches light with subtle texture and breathability. The all-over pattern is a signature detail of quality dressmaking, when embellishment was woven into the cloth itself.

A gently relaxed, yet tailored bodice with short sleeves creates ease through the shoulders, while the column shape skims the body without clinging. The self-tie belt cinches at the natural waist, offering you control over definition and fit. The straight cut balances proportions whether you carry more fullness through the bust and shoulders or through the hips and thighs, the uninterrupted vertical line creates an elegant length.

Construction is clean and considered. A centre back seam, revovable belt and quality stitching speak to an era when garments were made to endure.

This colour works hard across seasons. Wear it with tan sandals and our Cane Like Clutch Handbag for summer, or layer with a fine knit cardigan and boots for cooler days. The emerald green pairs beautifully with both gold or silver jewellery and warm timber tones.

Investment dressing that transcends trend. Timeless silhouette, exceptional fabric, and a shade that never dates.

Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970s 'VIP'

Green Festival Stripe Maxi Dress 1970s 'VIP'

$189.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This authentic vintage maxi is pure 1970s optimism in fabric form. The print is a brilliant mix of saturated greens with pops of violet, sunshine yellow and warm spice tones, arranged in graphic vertical panels that do what great vintage does best: create impact while quietly working in your favour. The neckline is a clean square, the straps are substantial and supportive, and the bodice has those thoughtful era details, including statement buttons and shaping through the torso, finishing in a sweeping skirt with a ruffled hem that moves like it has its own soundtrack.

Made in the 1970s, it has that wearable bohemian polish that feels just as right now with leather sandals and a basket bag (have you seen our Cane Like Clutch) as it does dressed up with a block heel and your favourite jewellery.

The vertical patterning is especially lovely if you like a lengthening line through the body, and it suits a range of proportions. If you are a bit fuller through the bottom half than the top half and want balance, or if you are broader through the shoulders or bust and like a neckline that frames that beautifully then this one's for you. Add a cropped denim jacket or a fine knit for cooler evenings, and let the dress do the heavy lifting while you simply show up and look unforgettable.

$169.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

This 1970s Antoinette of Sydney gem proves that great design never goes out of style. The magic lies in its print-led construction. A soft brushed cotton blend transitions from delicate geometric florals on the bodice to bold chevron stripes on the skirt, creating a flattering vertical flow. The classic shirtwaister silhouette features a crisp collar, scalloped trim detailing, and a matching belt to define your waist before the skirt gently skims your hips.

It's the kind of piece that works as hard as you do, whether styled with chocolate brown boots for weekend ease or loafers for office polish. Breathable yet cosy, this is a season-spanning treasure that celebrates the era's love of engineered prints with effortless wearability.

Seen as early as the 17th century, the exotic and decorative style 'Chinoiseries' is repeated in architecture, furnishings and fashion alike. Popular with, and worn by, those who value the unique garment with flair! The Art Deco eras are awash with chinoiserie garments similar to this formidable piece!

This is a beautiful albeit 'wounded' example of craftmanship, delicate quality fabric and enduring fashion. At least 30 years young, we included this in our collection due to the unusual colour and artwork. While it may need care, this jacket or robe remains is a stylish 'head turner'.

Bring an 'edgy' look to jeans and t-shirt or, over a slimline dress or skirt combination. Wear with wide leg trousers to emulate the Deco eras. Or, simply wear around the house for a bit of vintage decadence. Wear it your way - be your own bird.

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!
