Painted Bird Vintage & Sustainable Stylist

@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.

Vintage-lovers, have you discovered your signature style yet? While the weather is warming up layering is my go-to! 🤩 This fun ensemble blends the classics with an air of sophistication and modern panache. Paired here for my OOTD is a vintage scarf, a luxe caramel retro leather top, bold navy and gold lurex vintage blouse, and iconic New Zealand (and collectable I might add) 'El Jay' vintage check skirt. Bringing it all together with navy glass jewels and my favourite vintage @Oroton loupe.

👗 Style tip from the Red Bird of Paradise: Sometimes, the boldest looks require patience and care. 🌿 These rainforest beauties flaunt burnt orange, emerald and golden yellow hues in their butterfly dances, proving that elegance is a mix of drama and detail. At Painted Bird Vintage, we channel that same energy into our curated collection. 👉🏼 Let your wardrobe dance to a sustainable rhythm: paintedbird.nz. #vintage #style #paintedbirdnz #sustainablestylistnz #slowstyle #vintageinspiration #ecostyle #birdofparadisestyle vibes Repost @birdsonearth @timlaman
