Banana-Leaf Explosion

The banana-leaves in design conjure up cultural references ranging from the Beverly Hills Hotel, to the Golden Girls, to Indochine in NYC, and the home of Nikki Hilton–but to me, it says one thing: JUNGALOW! As the summer months approach there’s been a banana-leaf explosion in the mags and online. Here are some of my faves:

Banana Leaf Pendant
Banana Leaf Umbrella
Banana Leaf T-shirt
Pants
Plexi-glass heel 
Wicker Chair
Clutch
Leaf Plate 
Bikini Bottom
Sandals
Club Chairs
