1970s Adini Cotton Gauze Blouse – Indian Block Print Gauze Top with Gold Stamping and Bell Toggles

A beautiful 1970s cotton gauze blouse by Adini, a highly collectible label known for its romantic Indian-inspired textiles and flowing silhouettes during the 1970s bohemian era.

This blouse is made from lightweight cotton gauze printed in soft spring tones of blue, pink, green and purple, enhanced with delicate gold stamping throughout the fabric. Adini pieces from this period were often inspired by traditional Indian block printing techniques and were very popular during the 1970s bohemian movement.

The blouse features a relaxed silhouette with drop shoulders and long sleeves, giving it that effortless drape typical of the period. The neckline fastens with decorative toggles finished with small metal bells, all of which remain intact and add a charming detail that moves softly when worn.

Light, airy and wonderfully easy to style, this piece pairs beautifully with denim, skirts or suede and is a perfect transitional blouse for spring and summer.

Condition

Very good vintage condition. The cotton gauze remains soft and wearable, the gold stamping is still visible, and the decorative toggles with bells are all intact. Minor signs of wear may be present consistent with age but nothing that detracts from the beauty of the piece.
