Bananas




I have mixed feelings about the fruit -- apparently it is nearly all sugar, and the process by which it is picked in Latin America and shipped to the U.S. is a study in the problems with globalized food consumption -- but I do like these facsimiles. From above, zipped lined hemp tote with leather handles and a silkscreened image, $73.75 (was $295!) from Virginia Johnson. Clever resin banana bowl by Areaware on eBay for $59.99 with zero bids and 1 day left, or buy-it-now for $100 (usually retails for $140).
