This version of the Soft Flounce Blouse is made from a a beautifully understated deadstock cotton poplin, originally designed for Paul Smith. The fabric is deep black, scattered with tiny red flowers—romantic yet quietly rebellious. It’s feminine, but not soft. Cool in that effortless, not-trying-too-hard way.

The crisp structure of the poplin enhances the blouse’s signature flounces, giving it shape and movement without feeling too delicate. This particular fabric is no longer available, but I can help source similarly unusual prints or ex-designer deadstock if you’re after something with the same mood.

This blouse began with a feeling: I wanted to create something floral, but understated—something with edge. That’s how custom begins. Tell me what you’re drawn to—colour, texture, a mood, a memory—and we’ll turn it into a shirt that’s entirely yours.
