Gitta Banko: The styles, the jeans and the sizes
Gitta Banko was a model and stylist before founding her own label. You can tell by the pieces, especially the denim. The jeans feature a twisted side seam, which defines the brand’s look and is highly sought after.
Here are the models we carry, along with their differences and fit.
The most important points in brief
- Sizes range from XS to L, some up to XL. Some items come in double sizes like S/M and M/L.
- Shannon is the most well-known pair of trousers, Avery the jeans with the twisted seam, and Elenor the blazer.
- Our selection ranges from €129 to €719.
- 90's Diesel is not a model, but the wash that recurs across several pieces.
Sizes: XS to XL, some in double sizes
Most items are available in XS, S, M, and L, with some going up to XL. Blouses and looser-fitting models come in double sizes: S/M, M/L, L/XL, and some even in XS/S.
Double sizes might sound imprecise, but they aren't. They are designed for cuts that drape fluidly anyway, allowing them to cover a wider range.
Shannon: the most famous trousers
Shannon is available in several versions and is the brand's most searched-for name.
The Shannon S in 90's Diesel is a cropped jean with an O-shape silhouette and a patch pocket on the front, €280. The Shannon in Washed Black is the trouser version, €270. The Shannon C in Moonstruck is €255.
When people mention the name, they usually mean the cropped O-shape.
Avery and Rylee: denim with a twisted seam
Avery in Light Grey is the jean people are looking for when they search for "Gitta Banko twisted jeans." It has a wider, casual cut, twisted side-seam construction, and is made of 99% cotton with 1% elastane. €279.
Rylee in 90's Diesel has the same wash as the Shannon S, but fits straighter. €280.
The Alabama denim jacket in the same 90's Diesel wash goes perfectly with it, €295. Worn together, they create a cohesive denim look.
Elenor: the plaid blazer
Graphic plaid in shades of grey, relaxed fit, a transitional piece. €449.
Matching Sol and Camille trousers are available in the same Grey Checked pattern, €295 and €309. If you want the complete suit, it’s there.
Esmeralda, Lea, and Kaya: the blouses
Esmeralda is the Tencel blouse in a light summer quality, in White and Ash Wood, €270. Lea in black is €297. Kaya C is the shirt in White Stripes, €270.
"Gitta Banko white blouse" is a regular search query. That refers to the Esmeralda in White.
Audrey and Rowan: the more affordable pieces
Audrey is the grey top, €129. Rowan is the shirt featuring the Tina Turner motif, €149.
Both are the easiest entry point into the brand if a €449 blazer is too much.
