Meticulously handcrafted in our South Manchester studio, this unique upcycled cotton blouse is a one-of-a-kind statement piece reworked from a premium Johnston & Murphy men's shirt — an American heritage brand known for exceptional shirting since 1850.
This refined garment merges the original’s crisp geometric print, engraved buttons, and contrast collar with a modern, sculptural silhouette, keeping it both elevated and versatile for daily wear.
The premium long‑staple cotton has a smooth, tightly woven finish that holds the ruffled collar and soft puff sleeves perfectly while still draping comfortably through the body. The rework introduces a feminine, modern shape without losing the integrity of the original craftsmanship.
Finished with the original branded buttons and subtle structural details, it feels refined, elevated and effortlessly wearable. It is a versatile blouse that pairs beautifully with wide‑leg trousers, denim or layered under a blazer — an easy, contemporary wardrobe staple.
