TRIBAL BEATS

 
TRIBAL BEATS

Fashion has embarked on a long and exotic journey, touring the globe and returning with souvenir trunks stashed with tribal touches, animal patterns, raw textures and spicy colors.
Straight out of Africa, India and North and South America – animal designs from the Savannah, replicas of Ikat weaves and Navajo motifs splashed on breezy silks or sturdier cottons in sizzling sundrenched hues.


SHOP THE SELECTION


Even the most conservative types shouldn’t tame their wild side but embrace the trend with one great standalone piece, be it a tunic, a pair of mules, shorts or ruffled tops.
Faithful reproductions of leopard spots or vibrantly colored versions peppered with unexpected mismatches of tribal details and warrior like motifs, even on bags, jewelry and footwear.
So, pile on an armful of wooden or beaded bangles and turn into the perfect urban Jane.
