skins

The Resort season always brings us a few trends with a tropical vibe, which is only natural as the name itself implies post-winter travels. This season, that tropical trend takes the form of brightly colored feathers, realistically rendered and arranged in neo-psychedelic fashion. Whether used alone or combined with floral elements or even other animal skins, you’ll be sure to end up with a unique group of prints that buyers will flock to.

Of course a classic skin is never a bad idea, either.
