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

The refined women’s blouse with a distinctive double-button collar is made of pure cotton by the renowned Italian weaving mill Monti. Founded in 1911 by Giorgio Monti near Treviso, Monti has grown into one of the world’s leading manufacturers of shirting fabrics. Today, the company produces 20 million metres of fabric annually and distributes it 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), stands out with its luxurious sheen and soft texture. The characteristic Oxford weave is created by interweaving two threads, usually in different colours, with one typically being white. This gives the fabric its subtly shimmering appearance and makes it especially soft, wrinkle-resistant, and durable.The mother-of-pearl buttons are placed close together along the placket to prevent the blouse from gaping. Instead of the usual seven stitches per centimetre, this blouse features nine stitches, emphasising the high quality of craftsmanship. After precise cutting, the sleeves, collar, and cuffs are made by hand. The mother-of-pearl buttons are sewn on following the Florentine tradition, where the sewing thread forms a crow’s foot pattern—an intricate detail that highlights the craftsmanship.Each blouse undergoes an elaborate production process of 40 distinct steps. The double-button collar gives the blouse a striking look and exudes sophisticated elegance. The slightly tailored fit, accentuated by darts at the front and back, along with wide topstitching on the collar, button placket, and cuffs, complete the refined piece. The practical convertible cuffs can be worn with or without cufflinks, making the blouse a versatile addition to any stylish wardrobe.
