It was lovely to come across this version of a ‘postcard’ style print. It’s resplendent with tropical motifs, and perfect for summer dresses, tops, shirts, skirts or loose pants. In addition to palm trees and other tropical foliage you’ll see crocodiles, leopards, snakes, bananas, parrots, and a human form. You’ll have fun exploring all the features of this print. The colour palette is unique, combining purples, pinks, orange and cobalt with some ochre and olive greens. The background is white, which keeps the design fresh and summery.
This is the same beautiful cotton satin that you know so well. It has a very slight sheen to the finish which elevates it.
