Monsoon_beach

Monsoon and its sister shop Accessorize often come up with great prints and ethnically styled pieces that can’t help but be reminiscent with the 60s/70s fascination with Morocco, India et al.

Their new beach shop collections have a great big dollop of this retro inspiration, including great looking kaftans, paisley prints and that irresistable fan. Great looking summery pieces to snap up whether or not you’re lucky enough to be planning a trip to the sunshine.
