The Tropicalism collection by Odile Bailloeul invites you to venture into virgin and unknown territories and dense jungles where the vegetation is prolific and exuberant. Here everything is extreme: the colors, the richness of the textures, the fragrances, the profusion of patterns. Insects, birds, frogs and wild animals come out of their hiding places to meet you, merging with the leaves and flowers in full bloom.
