Meticulously handcrafted in our South Manchester studio, the Angelica Garla Blouse is a unique, one-of-a-kind Liberty print blouse that brings a beautifully romantic silhouette to your wardrobe.
Originally a premium shirt by Topman, this garment has been completely deconstructed and reimagined into a chic, feminine statement piece, ensuring every detail has been reconsidered for a boutique designer feel.
The frame has been restructured into a modern boxy fit with a clean, squared, semi-cropped hemline. The standout feature is the elegant Victorian-style "pie-crust" collar, supported by the original collar stand for a crisp, high-neck finish.
To balance this structured detail, the short sleeves have been opened and finished with soft elastic, creating delicate, gathered puffs.
The Fabric Story
This exceptional piece is crafted from world-renowned Liberty of London Tana Lawn™ cotton, prized across the luxury fashion world for its ultra-fine, tightly woven weave and unique, signature silk-like feel. While the fabric content is 100% cotton, it is incredibly lightweight, durable, and exceptionally soft against the skin.
It features the iconic "Angelica Garla" print—a meticulous, highly detailed botanical study of sunflowers, pansies, and daisies. This specific monochrome colourway offers a sophisticated, timeless look that effortlessly bridges the gap between heritage textile design and contemporary, independent style.

Bespoke Upcycled Liberty Print Blouse | "Angelica Garla" Rework (UK 10-12)
At Mabel Green Studio, we believe in giving beautifully made pieces a considered second life. Each vintage, pre‑loved or reworked garment is chosen for its quality, craftsmanship and character — the kind of work that deserves to be preserved, not discarded.
Our philosophy ensures that garments and accessories which might otherwise be lost to time are treated with respect; we honour the materials, the makers and the stories they carry. Some pieces are carefully revived in their original form; others are thoughtfully redesigned and reimagined into contemporary silhouettes that allow the fabric to live on in a new way.
Only items that meet our standards for condition, authenticity and longevity are selected for our curated collection.
Each piece reflects our commitment to slow fashion, responsible making and the understated beauty of extending a garment’s life with intention.
