Meticulously handcrafted in our South Manchester studio, this unique piece is a standout upcycled cotton blouse that transforms a men's shirt by George into a sculptural, modern silhouette.
Made from 100% cotton, the fabric is a dark grey base scattered with soft orange and beige tropical florals — bold enough to feel expressive, yet refined enough for everyday wear.
The neckline features a gathered frill that sweeps around the collar and continues most of the way down the front placket, creating a fluid vertical line that flatters and elongates. The cropped, elasticated sleeves keep the piece light and wearable.
Styled with wide‑leg trousers or denim, it becomes an effortless statement piece. Worn with linen or tailoring, it shifts into something more polished. A one‑off, sustainably reimagined blouse with a warm, summery feel.

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.
