Last week, like many others, I received an email promotion from Typo .

It was a graphic posing the question – Watermelons v Pineapples. I found it rather amusing that there was a graphic posing this very now but first world question. I immediately posted it on my Facebook page.

Then I actually had to stop for a moment and think. I’m a fan of both you see, and then I thought, how funny that fruit is all over EVERYTHING at the moment.

Not just stationery. Not just cushions. Not just pens.

Fruit, particularly pineapples and watermelons are EVERYWHERE at the moment. When I started looking around, it didn’t take long to find fruity prints on clothes, artwork, beach towels …. well, pretty much anything.

Why? Well, as Derek Zoolander would say, fruit is so hot right now. It’s a trend that is fun, fresh and is a very big nod to summer – fruit platters, cocktails and of course trips to The Big Pineapple (always with a souvenir pineapple pen) and the long summer holidays.

So, if you are not sure which team you are on and need a little convincing one way or the other, this post is for you. And as you can see below, stores and brands across the price spectrum have all embraced the fruit trend in a big way, making a slice of this style accessible at any price point.

It’s also for those of us on Team Switzerland, who love a bit of fruit fun, however it comes!
