We have a pattern crush on banana leaves! The classic design-- originating from the 1940's-- is having a trendy moment this summer, and it's prettier than ever. The tropical print looks fresh on everything from phone cases, to stationery, to bikinis. The bikini is a total steal, found at Target! Co-Founder Ali couldn't wait to get her hands on the iPhone case, and even showed it off on our Instagram the other day.
Banana leaf prints look great when styled simply; pair it with black, white, or tan/nude shades. Or, take inspiration from the iconic Beverly Hills Hotel (where the walls are decorated with wallpaper in the pattern), and pair your print with a shade of light pink! You can also add a taste of the trend to your home, with pillows in the print from Kate Spade.
We're totally bananas for banana leaves. What's your favorite print for summer?
