🍌 The Fabric That TATB used

Tilly’s own Frida sample is made in our Banana‑Rama Cotton Voile, a cheeky tropical print that captures everything we love at The Fabric Obsession—colour, joy and a little fruity flair. The playful mix of fuchsia pink, teal leaves and sunny yellow bananas brings a lively pop to the Frida’s clean, modern silhouette. You’ll find Banana‑Rama in our signature colours Pink & Teal, both beautifully drapey and perfect for showing off the shirt’s relaxed lines and thoughtful details.
