vintage VANS printed canvas ISLAND BEACH tropical print


we continue our insight into vans printed canvas this week & finally we have some uk weather to justify such heat!!
today we feature probably our favourite print by the name of island beach. life can be a proper beach sometimes but if you know know me you know i take care of my beaches, & this folks will be no exception.


a  minimal tropical print surfacing on vans models in the mid 80's, island beach has seen modern re-release, however the inferiority of which did nothing to taint the original & served only to prove the prints excellence.




initially available in 3 colourways, a splash of red was later added to the grey pallette to accompany the pastel genius of the others. 
 

what is your desert island (beach) van of choice?
