Esprit Libre Embroidered Denim Blouse β Balzac Paris (Washed Denim)
Brand: BALZAC Paris
The Spirit π The Cyrius blouse is a masterclass in structured ease, specifically curated for the Getaway Edit. With its "Bleu Glacier" wash and unique maritime-inspired v-neckline, it offers the character of denim with the lightweight freedom of a blouse. A poetic detail awaits on the sleeve: the embroidered "Esprit Libre" serves as a quiet reminder of the intentional, free-spirited path of the traveler. It is the perfect piece for those coastal evenings where you need a layer that feels substantial yet effortless.
Why we chose it πΏ We selected the Cyrius for its commitment to "T.P.R" (Toujours Plus Responsable) logic. Crafted from 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton, it eliminates the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers, protecting both the soil and the workers. This specific weave is durable enough to hold its architectural shape while remaining soft against the skin, ensuring it remains a centerpiece of your capsule for years to come.
Composition: 100% Organic Cotton.
Fit: Straight, structured cut (true to size).
Care Instructions: Machine wash at 30Β°C. To preserve the "Bleu Glacier" indigo depth and the cotton fibers, wash inside out with similar colors and air dry. Do not bleach.

Secondhand & Vintage Sizing
Vintage and secondhand pieces do not always match todayβs 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 youβre between sizes, we recommend referring to the brands' specific fit notes (above).
Bust (women)
Measure around the fullest part of your bust, keeping the tape level across your shoulder blades. Breathe normally; donβt pull the tape too tight.
Chest (men)
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, under the arms, keeping the tape straight across your back. Relax arms at your sides.
Waist
Measure at your natural waist (the narrowest point, usually above the navel). Keep the tape comfortably snug.
Hips
Stand with feet together. Measure around the fullest part of your hips/seat (typically 18β23 cm below the waist), keeping the tape level.
Inseam (pants)
Measure from the crotch seam down to the bottom of the leg. Tip: measure a pair of trousers that fits you well for the most accurate inseam.
Foot length (shoes)
Place your heel against a wall on paper. Mark the longest toe and measure from wall to mark. Check our shoe table and size up if between sizes.
