Discover one-of-a-kind sustainable style with this upcycled embroidered cotton blouse, meticulously reimagined from a premium men's Charles Tyrwhitt shirt.
Made from luxury 100% non-iron cotton twill, this shirt features striking black contrast artisan embroidery accenting the collar, front placket, cuffs, and back yoke.
To transform the classic masculine silhouette into a flattering feminine drape, two structured chest patch pockets have been added, and the back waist has been gently elasticated. This creates a gorgeous, cinched hourglass silhouette at the back while keeping the front placket smooth and flat.
Complete with dropped shoulders and a modern high-low cropped hemline, it seamlessly blends Western-chic craftsmanship with contemporary styling.

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.
