Oceans Apart Neck Tie Billow Blouse - Seafoam

Oceans Apart Neck Tie Billow Blouse - Seafoam

An embroidered linen blouse that reads like a coral garden. Cut in soft seafoam with voluminous billow sleeves gathered into embellished cuffs, this piece is hand-finished throughout — scattered starfish embroidery in coral and lilac, beaded flecks across the body, and dense sequinned coral branches climbing the scalloped hem. A long neck tie falls loose down the front, or knots at the throat. Covered buttons close the placket. Designed in Australia by Antipodean.

Why we like it

This is the piece people ask about. The embellishment isn’t a border detail — it’s built into the shape of the garment, so the scalloped hem and cuffs read as sculpture rather than trim. Seafoam is unexpectedly easy to wear, and the volume through the sleeve balances anything narrow on the bottom. Hand-worked pieces like this take weeks to make, which is why it’s so unique and special.

How to style it

Loose over white tailored trousers with flat sandals for daytime. Tucked into a slim column skirt with the neck tie knotted high. Half-tucked into denim, sleeves pushed up, for something more offhand. Or over swimwear on holiday, which is arguably what it was made for.
