Plant Identification

With Earth Day approaching, there could be no better time to appreciate the leaf in fashion. From tropical-print fabric to foliage-shaped jewelry, we are branching out this week! And you don’t need to know your ficus from your salvia—you can be-frond them all g-leaf-ully!

Join us to identify vintage fashion that leaves nothing to be desired!
