Animal Print & Saint & Summer: Your Wildest Questions Answered

Animal print is bold. It’s timeless. And at Saint & Summer, it’s part of our DNA. Whether you’re a leopard lover, a zebra devotee, or you just want a subtle pop of print, we’ve got the perfect piece to let your wild side shine.

We’ve rounded up your most-asked questions about animal print and answered them – S&S style.


Q: Why is animal print still such a big trend?
A: Because it never really left. Animal print has been strutting its stuff on runways and sidewalks for decades. It’s the perfect balance between daring and classic. Leopard, zebra, snake – these prints are like neutrals with attitude. They work with almost anything in your wardrobe while still making a statement. At Saint & Summer, we love how animal print can instantly elevate an outfit from “just nice” to “wow – who’s that?”


Q: How does Saint & Summer do animal print differently?
A: We take animal print seriously – but never too seriously. Our designs combine on-trend prints with wearable, everyday shapes so you can rock your wild side without compromising comfort. Think the Pazzo Bum Bag for hands-free chic, the Folle Bottle and Cellphone Pouches for functional flair, the Macalata Purse for a playful pop on your keys or bag, and our Lenore Zebra Tote for the ultimate grab-and-go style statement. Even our sneakers – like the Fia Khaki Sneaker – get the animal treatment for a street-style edge.


Q: I love animal print, but I’m scared it will be too loud. How can I start small?
A: The trick is to let animal print be the accent, not the whole look. Start with a compact accessory, like the Macalata Purse or Folle Cellphone Pouch. These little pops of leopard or zebra add personality without taking over. Once you’re comfortable, try something bolder – like the Lenore Zebra Tote or our animal-accented sneakers. Before you know it, you’ll be pairing prints like a pro.


Q: Can animal print work for everyday wear?
A: 100%! Animal print isn’t just for nights out or statement moments. A leopard crossbody with jeans and a white tee? Effortless. Zebra sneakers with a summer dress? Fresh and fun. Our pieces are designed for real life – whether that’s coffee runs, office days, weekend markets, or a beach holiday.


Q: Any tips for styling animal print without clashing?
A: Keep the rest of your outfit simple and let the print shine. Neutrals like black, white, beige, and khaki work beautifully. If you want to get adventurous, mix prints – just stick to a consistent colour palette so it looks intentional. For example, pair a Pazzo Bum Bag with a leopard accent sneaker for a coordinated, confident vibe.


Q: What are Saint & Summer’s must-have animal print pieces right now?
A:

  • Pazzo Bum Bag – The ultimate hands-free style with a bold animal edge.

  • Folle Bottle & Cellphone Pouches – Hydration and connection, but make it fashion.

  • Macalata Purse – Small in size, big on personality.

  • Fia Khaki Sneaker – Comfort meets wild flair.

  • Lenore Zebra Tote – Your everyday carry-all, but way more fun.


Q: Will animal print ever go out of style?
A: We’ll take that bet – and say no. The beauty of animal print is that it keeps reinventing itself. It’s both trendy and timeless, so it never truly disappears. And as long as there’s a Saint & Summer, there will be fresh, fabulous ways to wear it.


Q: Final word for animal print lovers?
A: Don’t be afraid to let your wild side out. Whether you’re just dipping your toe in or you’re ready to go full safari, there’s a Saint & Summer animal print piece with your name on it. The only rule? Have fun with it.
