Help! The flamingo trend - secret sign that can bring you an unexpected visit
No one has managed to escape the exploding trend - nowadays we see them almost everywhere.
The flamingo trend is clearly here to stay, they just appear in new variations.

Don't be surprised if you get an unexpected visit - the flamingo is a secret signal for something you might not want to be associated with...
Flamingos in all their forms, we see them everywhere these days. Above all during the summer, in the pool, on the beach, on clothes, in the garden... From having been a slightly kitschy interior detail for a few fans, they are now found on many neighbours' plots. The trend has completely exploded and so far there is no indication that it is about to slow down, on the contrary.
