The Spirit 💜
A denim blouse in “Bleu Glacier” with a maritime V-neckline and an embroidered “Esprit Libre” detail on the sleeve. Light and structured — it works as a shirt on its own or as a relaxed layer on cooler evenings. The embroidery adds a small, personal touch without being showy.

Why we chose it 🌿
100% GOTS-certified organic cotton through Balzac’s “Toujours Plus Responsable” sourcing programme. The weave is durable and soft against the skin, and holds its shape wash after wash.

Composition:
100% organic cotton (GOTS-certified).

Fit:
Straight, structured cut.

Care instructions:
Machine wash at 30°C. Wash inside out with similar colours to preserve colour depth. Air dry. Do not bleach.

Secondhand & Vintage Sizing

Vintage and secondhand pieces do not always match today’s size standards. We list actual garment measurements (in cm) on each product page. Compare these to a similar item you own for the best fit.

How to Measure (quick guide)

Use a soft tape measure over lightweight clothing. Keep the tape parallel to the floor and snug, not tight. If you’re between sizes, we recommend referring to the brands' specific fit notes (above).
