Handcrafted with silk embroidery – Cross Ethnic Motif
A quiet harmony between earth and light.
Crux Alba is a handcrafted blouse made of natural beige handwoven linen, embroidered with fine white silk thread in the shape of the ancestral cross motif — symbol of protection, balance, and grace.
Its 3/4 sleeves and soft, bloused neckline evoke ease and purity, while the subtle contrast between the fabric and embroidery reveals the quiet poetry of craftsmanship.
Worn gently on the shoulder, it feels both ancient and effortless — a timeless piece where the spirit of tradition meets the calm of contemporary elegance.
Handmade in limited edition – a whisper of heritage, woven in light.

Care
To preserve the beauty and durability of your handloom-woven blouse:
- Hand wash in cold water (max. 30°C) with mild detergent, free of bleach.
- Do not machine wash or tumble dry — vibrations and high temperatures can damage the handwoven fabric and embroidery.
- Air dry naturally, laid flat in the shade, to prevent fading and distortion.
- Iron on the reverse side, at medium temperature, preferably using a pressing cloth to protect the fabric.
- Store in a dry, airy place, preferably folded rather than hung, to protect traditional seams.
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, perfume, or deodorant directly on the fabric to prevent stains and discoloration.
This piece is more than a garment — it is a work of textile art. Caring for it properly will extend its life and keep the craft alive for generations to come.
Artisanal Lead time & Delivery
Crafted by Independent Artisans
Each Romanian blouse is entrusted to independent master artisans whose work we exclusively curate. Creation does not follow industrial time but the rhythm of craftsmanship itself.
If available in stock, your piece is shipped immediately. Otherwise, production begins upon order. The process typically requires around 30 days, though depending on the complexity of the embroidery and the atelier’s capacity, it may extend to 90 days — and, in the case of highly intricate heirloom pieces, up to 180 days.
These timelines are not delays but the very essence of luxury: the patience required for a masterpiece.
Every blouse is hand-cut, embroidered, and softly pressed before passing quality review. Natural variations in thread and finish are not imperfections but hallmarks of authenticity.
Once complete, we coordinate express delivery worldwide (EU 1–3 days; international 3–5 days). In some cases, the atelier may ship directly; when so, the artisan is the official shipper, while we remain your constant point of contact — coordinating updates, ensuring tracking, and stewarding the process until the piece reaches you.
To own such a garment is to embrace its journey: a creation measured not in hours, but in heritage.
STYLING ADVICE & SIZE GUIDE
Craft details:
Delicate openwork, sabac patterns, and stitches rooted in centuries-old techniques elevate each piece into a work of wearable art. Far beyond ornament, these details embody the virtuosity of artisans who have inherited, and perfected, the ancestral language of the needle with effortless grace and confidence.
We suggest wearing the blouse in a diaphanous, effortless way — its naturally ample cut, wide sleeves, and romantic flow create a sense of timeless grace. For a true couture effect, we recommend choosing a generously oversized size, which may then be delicately adjusted at the neckline and waist with the artisanal drawstrings.
This freedom of volume is not only a hallmark of heritage design, but also an invitation to interpret the blouse as your own — fluid, ethereal, and undeniably feminine.
