Marimekko Shopping Bag Pieni Unikko

The versatile cotton bag features the Pieni Unikko pattern. The lightweight bag is easy to tuck into another bag so that it is always with you. Printed in Helsinki.

Marimekko Unikko’s famous poppy motif originated in 1964 at a time when the design house’s collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and she designed a whole range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.

Brand: Marimekko

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.
