& Other Stories’s tops run $49 – $199

About & Other Stories’s tops: & Other Stories rotates a large, feminine blouse assortment — ruffle collars, tie necks, puff sleeves — anchored by a recurring run of mulberry-silk styles that price below most dedicated silk labels. Styles change seasonally, but the silk blouse slot is a constant in the range.

Is the price honest?

At $139-199 full price the line sits at the bottom edge of the luxury tier, and it is real mulberry silk — thin, but real — for less than most dedicated silk labels charge. Part of the price is fashion positioning, though, and the brand's routine deep sales (the current tie-neck version was marked from $199 to $99 at review time) mean full price is rarely the real price.

Our take

The Mulberry Silk Blouse is the recurring real-silk anchor of & Other Stories' blouse range, reissued each season in tie-neck, ruffled, and buttoned versions at $139-199. The brand lists the current cut as 100% mulberry silk, lightweight and semi-sheer. One owner reports a year of at-least-monthly wear with no faults, surviving machine washes the care label warns against. Caveats: the silk runs thin, pale colors are sheer, styles rotate quickly, and popular colorways sell out mid-season.

The details

Material: The brand's own listing says the current version is "crafted from 100% mulberry silk" with a lightweight, semi-sheer finish; one owner notes the silk is on the thinner side rather than a heavyweight weave.
Fit: Runs long and straight in the body — the brand cuts for taller frames and offers no petite range, and one owner wished the sleeves were an inch shorter. US sizes run 0-14, and forum posters advise going a size up if busty.
Quality: A long-term owner who wore hers at least monthly for about a year says she "cannot fault the quality," even after repeated machine washing against label advice. The trade-off is a thinner, semi-sheer silk, not a heavyweight one.
Best for: Right for someone who wants a real-silk blouse with feminine detailing for office-to-evening wear at high-street pricing, and who doesn't mind ironing.
Care: The label calls for dry cleaning, though one long-term owner machine-washes hers with her whites without damage — expect heavy creasing that needs an actual iron rather than a steamer.
