Product Insights
The Ganu blouse by Vanessa Bruno is a short-sleeve reinterpretation of the bestselling Dahlia, trading the cropped trapeze and adjustable puff sleeves for a straight fit and fixed ruffled sleeves, while introducing a button-loop Tunisian collar that elongates the torso and echoes 1930s Tunisian costume and Brigitte Bardot. Its craftsmanship combines pintucks, embroidery, lace insertion, and gathering, with guipure lace trim of 100% cotton originating from 16th-century Italy, though the embroidery material shifts from cotton to polyester. The cotton-viscose blend enhances breathability and moisture absorption, but care requires hand washing or dry cleaning and low-heat ironing to preserve the pleats and lace.
