Marimekko Shopper Bag 60 ° Anniversario Unikko
Designed by Maija Isola Manufactured by Marimekko
The lightweight cotton bag is easy to tuck into another bag so that it is always with you. Printed in Helsinki. Our tote bags are sewn using the whole width of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary slightly. Each item is unique.
Created by Antti Kekki using the paper cutout technique, the Rukinlapa (distaff) pattern was inspired by traditional, ornamental handicraft. In the pattern, one can see a series of distaffs decorated with a vegetal theme. Together, they seem to form a vine climbing up the wall. Main Material: 100 % Cotton
It started with a dress. In the 1950s, Marimekko’s trail-blazing founder Armi Ratia created the brand’s very first pieces; a vividly printed range of liberating dresses that reflected her confident spirit. Contrary to the traditional attire of the time, Ratia’s designs embraced looser silhouettes, bold, colourful prints and a free-spirited sensibility made to empower women. This legacy still lives on today, and Marimekko’s eye-catching range of printed pieces now extends to accessories, homewares, ceramics and more. Each piece is expertly printed in the brand’s Helsinki printing factory and the Finnish company’s vibrant motifs are instantly recognisable – give a special friend or loved one a stylish surprise with a playful printed tote bag, chic mug or colourful set of notecards.
