PERMANENT RESORT AT BANANA REPUBLIC
The Luxe Leisure line...
I envy those that live in any of the places where Luxe Leisure will be sold year-round. Luxe Leisure is the new caspule resort line from Banana Republic that just launched with a 40 piece collection that includes bathing suits, bikinis, rompers, and tunics slated for stores in March in places where it is warm year-round (along with a few other select stores). No, I’m not a regular Banana Republic shopper, but having just left New York City where I thought the 40 degree temperatures were bad, for Munich where the highs are currently somewhere in the 20's, I envy anyone who lives anywhere where the weather is always warm. While I associate warm weather with brightly colorful and flowy looks, I was rather surprised to find that the images Banana Republic has released of their new collection include a number of darker and patterned looks. I suppose I was expecting looks more in line with something from a retailer like Calypso, but alas, anyone who shops Banana Republic on a regular basis will not be all that surprised with the wears. They are also priced much like the regular Banana Republic line - $29.50 to $110 - and Luxe Leisure will cross with the main line when it’s the traditional summer season.
Luxe Leisure is the third capsule collection for Banana Republic after Heritage and BR Monogram. |
