About Us

CLASSIC LINES, CREATIVE MINDS

At Top Banana, we’re inspired by the elegance of vintage tennis style—and the rule-breakers who do things their own unique way.

Anything but basic, our pieces nod to tradition with clean lines and sporty stripes, but they’re made for the creatively inclined:

artists, designers, music makers, dreamer of dreams and anyone who brings their own spin to life—on and off the court.

Top Banana brings vintage tennis style back with a modern, effortless elegance.

THE Top Banana

Meet Michele. She is the creator of Top Banana—a modern sportswear collection inspired by vintage sport. Top Banana is a love letter to a simpler time.

Michele’s tennis style reflects her childhood in upstate New York during the 1970s and ’80s, when summers were long and full of boredom. Time was told by ringing church bells, and illuminated street lights prompted a quick bike ride home for family dinner.

Michele only began playing tennis as an adult, so she’s far from a traditional champion. But Top Banana isn’t really about winning. It’s about getting outdoors, sharing joy with friends, and having a laugh—maybe even at yourself.

Our Mission and Vision

At Top Banana, we create sport-inspired essentials that blend nostalgic charm with modern comfort. Our goal is to offer intentionally designed pieces that fit well, feel effortless, and celebrate individuality.

We envision becoming a leading modern-heritage brand—where vintage sport style meets contemporary design—bringing confidence, creativity, and a sense of playful refinement to life on and off the court.
