Gitta Banko: The styles, the jeans and the sizes
Gitta Banko was a model and stylist before launching her own label. You can tell by the pieces, especially the denim. The jeans feature a twisted side seam construction that defines the brand's look and is highly sought after.
Below are the models we carry, along with their differences and fit.
The most important points at a glance
- Sizes range from XS to L, some up to XL. Some items come in double sizes such as S/M and M/L.
- Shannon is the best-known trouser, 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 tone that reappears in several pieces.
Sizes: XS to XL, some in double sizes
Most pieces come in XS, S, M, and L, some up to XL. Blouses and looser-cut models are available in double sizes: S/M, M/L, L/XL, and sometimes XS/S.
Double sizes might sound imprecise, but they are not. They are designed for cuts that drape fluidly, thus covering a wider range.
Shannon: the best-known trouser
Shannon is available in several versions and is the brand's most requested name.
The Shannon S in 90's Diesel is a cropped jean with an O-shape silhouette and an external patch pocket on the front, €280. The Shannon in Washed Black is the trouser version, €270. The Shannon C in Moonstruck is priced at €255.
When people mention the name, they usually mean the cropped O-shape.
Avery and Rylee: the denim with the twisted seam
Avery in Light Grey is the jean people are looking for when they search for "Gitta Banko twisted jeans." It has a wide, casual cut, a twisted side seam, and is made of 99% cotton with 1% elastane. €279.
Rylee in 90's Diesel features the same wash tone as the Shannon S but has a straighter fit. €280.
The Alabama denim jacket in the same 90's Diesel matches perfectly, €295. Worn together, they create a cohesive denim look.
Elenor: the plaid blazer
Graphic plaid in shades of gray, relaxed fit, transitional piece. €449.
The Sol trousers and Camille trousers are available in the same Grey Checked, €295 and €309 respectively. If you want the complete suit, it’s all 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 request. That is the Esmeralda in White.
Audrey and Rowan: the more affordable pieces
Audrey is the top in gray, €129. Rowan is the shirt with the Tina Turner motif, €149.
Both are the easiest entry point into the brand if a €449 blazer is too much.
