Travel to the tropics without leaving your home! Banana Leaves are back and in a big way. These retro-chic patterns and tones can be seen on shoes, shirts, skirts, bags, and even the walls of your home. Playful, interesting, bold, and serene this print is spotted in many shapes, sizes, and colors.
One designer who truly embraces the banana leaf is Charlotte Olympia. Her Beverley shoe has lines, colors, and a texture that mimics the tropical print.
