'Heirloom Lace' Danu Blouse - Size Small / UK 8 / US 4

Like a cherished memory brought to life, this blouse weaves together the artistry of yesteryear with contemporary elegance, crafted from a vintage mid-century cross stitch tablecloth and cutwork placemats that once graced family gatherings and celebrations.

This one of a kind piece of sustainable fashion showcases intricate cross stitch embroidery that speaks of patient hands and afternoon sunlight streaming through lace curtains. The sleeves feature the original embroidered edging of intricate cut work linen placemats, creating a delicate, almost ethereal effect that cannot be replicated by modern manufacturing.

The refined Mandarin collar adds a touch of timeless sophistication, while simple vintage buttons complement rather than compete with the elaborate needlework. Each element has been thoughtfully preserved and reimagined, honoring the original craftsmanship while creating something entirely new and wearable for the conscious fashion enthusiast.

Perfect for summer soirées or adding vintage elegance to your everyday wardrobe, this blouse pairs beautifully with everything from tailored trousers to flowing skirts. 

By choosing this handcrafted treasure, you're not only embracing slow fashion and ethical clothing choices but also becoming part of a beautiful narrative that spans generations – giving new purpose to textiles that were created with love and exceptional skill.
