SURevolution has made a name for itself in the world of culturally rich, eco-chic artisanal goods with offerings which are chic and sophisticated, while maintaining a grassroots edge. For Summer, the brand has released a limited-edition collection of Mochila bags ($325), perfect for those outdoor music festivals and sunny beach days. Each one is hand-woven by women of the Wayuu tribe — a nomadic people who reside in the Guajira region between Colombia and Venezuela — and takes one month to complete. The geometric design woven into each piece tells a beautiful story of the tribe’s mythology, and makes each bold, boho-chic mochila entirely one-of-a-kind. There are many colors and designs to choose from, so head over to the SURevolution site now to snap one up.

Last night, we spotted Whitney Port at Coachella looking festively funky in a pair of tribal print shorts by PH8, a loose Joe's Jeans printed tee, and mortal combat booties. It's comfy and we love the print mash-up. A small chain bag, a macho watch, and colorful glo-anklets complete her perfect concert ensemb. Try out a similar look for your next Summer festival!

Be sure to see what H&M had to say about Coachella too, if it weren't for them we wouldn't have had such a bitchin' time!

Trend Alert: Tenacious Tribal Prints

Spring is the perfect time to show off tenacious tribal prints.

Diane von Furstenberg at ShopStyle

Spring is the perfect time to show off tenacious tribal prints. These bold patterns — we especially love the African-inspired prints — emote major artsy-cum-funky appeal. Unlike Aztec techno motifs, tribal prints boast richer hues such as red, green, yellow, and brown. We can't stop staring at this amazing Diane von Furstenberg African Sugar-Print Canvas Bag ($1,400) — wowee.

Australian-based designer Tina Kalivas is often inspired by faraway cultures and their people, and her current collection—Polyrhythm—mixes recent influences from Afghanistan with a touch of African geometry.

Australian-based designer Tina Kalivas is often inspired by faraway cultures and their people, and her current collection—Polyrhythm—mixes recent influences from Afghanistan with a touch of African geometry. Kalivas meticulously folds hand-dyed tribal fabrics into symmetrically printed peplum skirts and structured dresses, turning a tired old trend into one of the best collections of the season.

Spring 2010 Trend Report: Primal Prints

At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces.

At the hands of Belgian fashion designer Dries Van Noten, mixed prints and layers of contrasting fabrics somehow make sense when paired with graphic jeweled cuffs and oversized neckpieces. Diane von Furstenberg took a more bohemian approach to the tribal trend for spring—with armfuls of bangles and printed maxi-dresses—while Frida Giannini and Nicolas Ghesquière fell hard for the urban warrior.

Fashion Pad Shoutout: Post Colonialism

Fashion can often feel like a pesky younger sister.
by coutorture Fashion can often feel like a pesky younger sister. They are always stealing your favorite dresses, shoes, and other goodies to make themselves look better. Pastiche is the ultimate fashion asset when it comes to cobbling together what is new and hot. While this makes patent law in fashion pretty tough, we have to admit it brings up some unfortunate issues of cultural ownership. Which is why when Fashion Pad highlights how popular tribal prints are we alternatively say "ohh pretty" and ouch post-colonial. Identity politics aside there are some pretty great choices out there. We just suggest you don't think to hard about authenticity in dress when you pick them out. Otherwise you are liable to feel a smidge burnt out about just who you are and aren't oppressing with that pretty sun-dress. More Shoutouts Here
