Hand painted fluted neck organic cotton blouse in pink

We make our hand painted fluted neck blouse from a structured 100% organic cotton twill. The blouse has a fluted neck and arms, a gather under the bust and ties down the back. It is a comfortable and oversized statement piece. Each piece is dyed to order and hand painted by Suzie.

Here the blouse is worn with our navy barrel jeans in brushed organic cotton.

We hand make each blouse in our workshop in Nottingham, England. Each item is made-to-order, minimising fabric wastage.

SUSTAINABLE

Organic cotton is more sustainable than regular cotton because the process is based on long-term thinking. Organic cotton farming does not use synthetic insecticides, fungicides or fertilisers. Healthy soil is instead maintained through crop rotation. This prevents the loss of nutrients into water bodies and avoids both water pollution and the need for artificial fertilisers. Organic cotton farming also uses significantly less water than ordinary cotton, whereby farmers rely mainly on rainwater. Find out more about organic farming at the Textile Exchange!

The labels we use are made from recycled fabric that is OEKO-TEX standard 100 certified. We also package the product in recycled paper.

A great resource on sustainable fashion is the Fashion Revolution, including information on what to consider when choosing where and what to buy.

As a brand that value sustainability, we also strive to post informative content on sustainable matters on our Instagram account @fordandguy

WASH CARE

To waste less water, energy and to make your clothes last longer:

-wash at cooler temperatures;
-wash your clothes less often;
-and don’t tumble dry.
