Vintage Clothing - Vintage Beaded Floral Embroidered Shoulder Bag 'VIP' - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Handbag

Vintage Beaded Floral Embroidered Shoulder Bag

$89.00 $69.00 Save $20.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

A soft, tapestry-like textile base in warm natural tones is scattered with petite florals and leafy trails, then elevated with iridescent beadwork that catches the light in blue-green and antique-gold flashes as you move. It has that hand-finished character you can feel, the kind that makes a lot of modern accessories seem slightly too rushed.

The shape sits neatly under the arm with an adjustable shoulder strap, and the top zip keeps everything secure. Inside you will find a dark brown lining and a practical zip pocket for the smaller essentials you like to keep easy to grab.

For styling, lean into colour rather than defaulting to neutrals. This pairs beautifully with a chambray or indigo denim look, creamy oatmeal linen, olive or moss tailoring, a rust or terracotta knit, a deep teal slip, or a soft mustard blouse. It is also gorgeous against warm browns, chocolate, and aubergine, and it can even lift a denim skirt and a simple tank into something a bit more considered.

Vintage Clothing - Diagonal Stripe Pleated Scarf in Autumn Tones - Painted Bird Vintage Boutique & The Aviary - Scarf

Diagonal Stripe Pleated Scarf in Autumn Tones

$42.00

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.
