Description

Late 1960s Hand-Painted Linen Colorblock Top with Mandarin Collar – XS/S

 Description

A rare late 1960s hand-painted linen colorblock top, blending artwear sensibility with global design influence. The front features a hand-painted textile panel depicting a stylized folkloric figure — a vibrant, whimsical representation reminiscent of Japanese kokeshi or Thai temple motifs popular in cross-cultural boutique fashion of the era.

This piece embodies the late-1960s shift toward artisan-made, globally inspired garments, bridging East–West aesthetics through craftsmanship and texture.

Design Features:

  • Constructed from medium-weight linen in alternating panels of sage green, chambray blue, and indigo
  • Hand-painted cotton front panel depicting a folkloric figure in multicolor pigments
  • High mandarin-style collar with two hand-looped knot closures
  • Elbow-length sleeves with brocade-print trim and matching knot ties
  • Straight silhouette with subtle side vents for comfort
  • Unlined with interior French seam finishing

Fit & Measurements:

  • Estimated Size: XS/S
  • Shoulder to Shoulder: 15.5″
  • Bust: 36″
  • Waist: 35″
  • Hip: 38″
  • Length: 25.5″ (shoulder to hem)
  • Sleeve Length: 11.5″
  • Model: Tomi is 5’9”, size XS/S, and wears the garment unpinned to show true drape and proportion.

Condition:
 Excellent vintage condition with minor age-related patina consistent with hand-painted textiles of the period. No visible stains, tears, or fading.

Styling Notes:
 Pairs beautifully with vibrant silk skirts, denim, or structured trousers. Works well styled with bold color or minimal neutrals. A standout collectible for those who appreciate 1960s boutique craftsmanship and textile art.

This store is about as good as it gets when it comes to second-hand, quality, and well known products. I can't speak as much on the women's section, but the men's had a very wide range of styles and brands. From amazing Ralph Lauren denim to classy vintage coats this place has the works. Not only is it a gem for its wares, but the owner of the place is just wonderful. She is nice and will help you find exactly what you're looking for, and maybe even something you didn't even know you needed. My pickups from my first time included a navy Air Force Peacoat, a cashmere v-neck sweater and a pair of that amazing Ralph Lauren denim that I mentioned. I would highly recommend this store to anyone if you are looking for higher end quality and rarity for a fair price. I know that I will definitely be making a return visit sometime soon.

Quirk is the kind of place you walk into and immediately feel like you’ve inherited the wardrobe of a rich, eccentric aunt who traveled the world and kept all the best pieces. Every rack feels intentional, lived in, and full of personality. Nothing feels random. Each item has a story, and you can sense it the moment you start browsing.

The bag selection alone is worth the stop. There are so many standout pieces that feel like true finds, not just resale. The kind of bags you don’t see twice.

What really makes this place special is the owner, Melynda. She’s genuinely fun to talk to and clearly passionate about what she curates. You can tell there’s pride and care behind every piece in the shop. Talking with her about vintage fashion and the stories behind the items made the experience feel personal, not transactional.

This ended up being one of the coolest spots I stumbled into in the fashion district. If you appreciate vintage that feels curated and soulful rather than picked over, Quirk is a must.

Shop filled with vintage and new clothing curated by a pro at helping you look good.  Easy to access, clean and neat and very cool.  If you don't know how cool Los Angeles is, stop by here and get an introduction and some clothes and accessories.

I worked with Melynda on a professional photoshoot for my company and ever since then I have been going to her store. Such a great way to change up my style and find new unique items. I am a proud owner of a vintage Italian suit and have even rented a gown for a special event. Always looking for her insight when shopping there.

QUIRK is the absolute best. I've come several times since 2020 and they never miss. Melynda is a top-tier curator. All her pieces feel hand-picked with thought, care, and a keen eye for taste and style. It's easy to find a great deal here: I've found a vintage Dior wallet at QUIRK, as well as multiple outfits for red carpets, premieres, photoshoots, and day-to-day wear. She keeps prices super fair and reasonable while knowing her stuff when it comes to true vintage, designer, and quality. I always know I'm getting my money's worth. As someone who loves vintage shopping, thrifting, and flea/artist/vintage markets, I'm always looking for vendors and stores, and QUIRK is one of those special places where you can tell vintage is a real passion, not just a place to make a quick buck on a Tiktok trend (though you can definitely find super trendy pieces here too!). At QUIRK, I'd say clothes are treated like found treasure looking for their forever home! I come back again and again because the pieces are fun and always changing. As a store owner, Melynda is friendly, knowledgable, and is great at offering styling advice for each customer's unique taste. She keeps such a positive shopping atmosphere in the store—I'll always keep returning! Love love love it!

I have joyfully followed Melynda and Quirk grow over the past year. Every time I get a little extra money I pop in to get a nice something-or-another for myself and leave with much more; life stories, fashion advice, and sometimes coffee. Each time I leave Quirk I look and feel a little smarter. Keep up the excellent work. -DC

I love this boutique! It's clear the owner Melynda has thoughtfully hand-picked and carefully curated an amazing collection of designer vintage and secondhand pieces. She has a fantastic selection of designer shoes and purses, and everything is in A+ condition or is like new! Melynda herself is super personable and always happy to help you find befitting pieces. There's also a superb selection of men's clothes and she has her own original designs for sale as well! So far I've bought two pairs of velvet gloves from her in-house label and I LOVE them! I get tons of compliments whenever I wear them. The designs are so unique, and the quality and construction are top notch. She's even making me a custom pair of pants using the same fabric as the gloves so I can have a matching set to wear to the Dreamstate Festival later this year! Plus there's a $20 sale rack with incredible finds. I highly recommend Quirk if you're looking for unique pieces that are in great condition and well priced, and super customer service 🤗
