@paintedbirdnz on Instagram and Facebook - Painted Bird evolved from a passion for the ‘hard to find’ piece; bespoke styles, cuts and textiles found in premium vintage clothing from the 1940’s to the 1970’s. These styles are easily incorporated in to our current looks. In days gone by, individuals chose patterns and fabrics, tailoring garments that created a story by infusing garments with personality, identity and occasion. These designs enhance existing body form, swathe natural beauty and produce a signature ‘statement look.’ Carefully handpicked pieces from France, Italy and other parts of Europe ensures our collection is Grade A Vintage, High End Wearable Art. On buying trips, we only select classic and unique garments of the highest condition; with the philosophy that all pieces must be distinctly wearable. These past creations are carefully curated to be an addition to our present day wardrobe. It is almost guaranteed that you will never see another garment like it – anywhere.

👒 Question of the day... Did Moira Rose of Schitt’s Creek pave the way for Mindy’s look in Emily in Paris? We sure hope hats are making a comeback for everyday chic! Whether for rain, shine, or just adding that extra je ne sais quoi (a beret, perhaps?), hats are a must. Check out our authentic Russian hats (in store now) to complete your look and join the stylish ranks of Moira and Mindy! 🎩✨ 📽 SPOILER ALERT: If you’ve seen Emily in Paris, you know what we mean about THAT blue hat!

I always make an effort to support other vintage resellers—whether it’s taking clients to their stores, giving a follow, or simply stopping by for a little fossicking during my downtime. 💌 But it truly saddens me to see pieces like this stunning Christian Dior suit languishing on a sale rack. 🌏 In other parts of the world, it’d be gone in seconds! For my clients, I always recommend a one-in-one-out rule to keep their wardrobes edited and conscious. Send the fast fashion out, and keep the pieces that bring you joy, inspiration, and beautiful memories. ❤️ Today’s look: Vintage Christian Dior suit, vintage fur collar, retro earrings, and more—all locally sourced from vintage or secondhand/thrift stores! #SustainableStylistNZ #VintageChristianDior #OOTD #VintageFashion #CircularFashion #ThriftedFinds #WardrobeGoals #VintageResellers

If the Indian Paradise Flycatcher were a fashionista, it would have major diva energy! 🌟 This bird's long white tail feathers make it a striking sight in nature. Much like the vintage finds at Painted Bird Vintage, it’s bold, unique, and unforgettable. Why blend in when you can fly high? 🕊️ #vintageelegance #natureInspired #paintedbirdnz #birdchats #slowstyle #mimicnature #sustainablestylenz 📸 @birdphotographyindia @wildlife_himelnobi
