Marimekko Shopper Bag 60 ° Anniversario Unikko
The Tote bag with full Ilves motif is made of unfue cotton panama, printed in Helsinki. 50% of the cotton used in this product is recycled. Our bags are sewn using all the wand width and therefore their appearance can vary. Each article is unique. Two young red lynies have fun in the twilight - perhaps they are almost adult brothers. With their spots and ears in tuft, these inhabitants of the northern forests are truly fascinating creatures. Aino-Maija Metsola painted the Ilves (red lynx) motif on paper with brush and ink.
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.
