This print has echoes of a fashion house that has its roots in elegant luggage, and equestrian motifs.  This design is not of the equine variety though.  There are belts and buckles, but the belts are fine, and the buckles are decorative and elegant.  These motifs are accompanied by strings of beads that weave around the belts and other features of the prints.  The peony blooms are the perfect addition to the design.  They add femineity, and a great contrast to the black, eggshell and leopard print shapes of colour.  It’s balanced, unique, and the sort of print that seems to be perfect for cooler months but wouldn’t be out of place in a summer dress with chic brown leather sandals.  

There are two colourways of this print:

Pink & Orange (in addition to the pink and apricot coloured flowers, you will see coral and light tan belts and beads)  

Teal & Blue (in addition to the Teal and Blue blooms, there are sage green belts and beads, and olive green beads and tassels)
