Label Text:A cherry print is a perennial classic in women’s fashion. Surrealist examples from the 1930s took on more feminine characteristics during the 1940s and cherries were established as whimsical conversation prints during the 1950s. Now associated with vintage styles, the sweet, bright, summertime fruit lends its qualities to nostalgic reinterpretations such as the oversized rendition seen here.
