Bella Blouse in Merlot

The Bella Blouse in Merlot is the July 2026 Collection's most decadent offering. A deep, rich merlot — the kind of red that sits somewhere between wine and wildflower — gives this striking silhouette its full dramatic weight. The high halter neckline, long neck-tie overlay that drapes elegantly down the front, and voluminous long puffy sleeves with structured cuffs make this a blouse built for occasions that deserve more than ordinary.

Wear it tucked into the Donna Corset Pants in Merlot Striped for a tonal moment that is all about texture and confidence. Or ground the richness of merlot against black, cream, or camel for an outfit that needs no introduction.

Why You'll Love It

• Deep merlot colourway — rich, saturated, and deeply flattering across a wide range of skin tones
• High halter neckline — sleek and elongating, with a confident presence in every room
• Long neck-tie overlay — falls in a graceful drape down the front, lending a fluid, editorial quality
• Voluminous puffy sleeves — dramatic volume anchored by structured buttoned cuffs
• Lightweight polyester — fluid and wearable without compromising on structure

Care & Maintenance

• Hand wash or gentle machine wash cold — wash with similar deep colours to preserve the merlot tone
• Do not bleach
• Hang to dry — tumble drying may affect the sleeve volume and fabric shape
• Iron on low heat or steam lightly if needed

FAQs

How do I style the Bella Blouse in Merlot?
Tuck into the Donna Corset Pants in Merlot Striped for a tonal set, or pair with black wide-leg trousers for a bold, grounded look. Gold jewellery and block heels complete the outfit.

Is merlot a good colour for different skin tones?
Yes — deep merlot is a universally flattering shade. It brings warmth to lighter tones and luminosity to deeper complexions.

Is the neck-tie attached or removable?
The neck-tie is a fixed part of the blouse's construction, draping down the front as an overlay that defines the piece's signature silhouette.
