»Chloe« Ladies' Blouse, Oxford, Blue/White

This elegant women's blouse with a striking double-button collar is made from pure cotton from the renowned Italian weaving mill Monti. Founded in 1911 by Giorgio Monti near Treviso, Monti developed into one of the world's leading manufacturers of shirt fabrics. Today, the company produces 20 million metres of fabric every year and sells them in over 90 countries. Monti combines tradition, craftsmanship and innovative technology at the highest level.The cotton-Oxford fabric made from full-twist yarns (80/2) is characterised by its elegant sheen and fine feel. The characteristic Oxford weave is created by interweaving two threads, usually in different colours, one of which is usually white. This gives the fabric its slightly shimmering look and makes it particularly soft, crease-resistant and hard-wearing.The mother-of-pearl buttons are positioned close together on the button placket to prevent the blouse from gaping open. Instead of the usual seven stitches per centimetre, nine stitches are used here, which underlines the high quality of workmanship. After precise cutting, the sleeves, collar, and cuffs are Made of high by hand. The mother-of-pearl buttons are sewn on in the Florentine tradition, with the sewing thread forming the shape of a buttercup - a detail that emphasises the meticulous craftsmanship.Each blouse undergoes an elaborate manufacturing process involving a total of 40 steps. The double-button collar gives the blouse a striking look and exudes stylish sophistication. The slightly tailored fit, emphasised by darts at the front and back, and the wide topstitching on the collar, button placket and cuffs round off the elegant appearance. The practical combination cuff can be worn with or without cufflinks, making the blouse an indispensable part of a stylish wardrobe.
