About a year ago I saw a little girl wearing the cutest backpack. I made a mental note of the tag on the bag which read, Marimekko. I googled the name only to discover that Marimekko is a renown textile design company based in Finland. The company was established in 1951 so I'm sure this is not a new discovery to most. However, I do live under a sizable rock (in the Midwest, no less) so I'm not usually the first to hear about cool stuff. But, in case you live under an even bigger rock than I do and are just now hearing about Marimekko for the first time, you can see more stuff here and here.
I LOVE Marimekko. My dad served his mission in Finland so I am well aware of this company. In fact my mom even bought us a few outfits from them for the babies. They were cute but I think their girly fabric is cuter.
ReplyDeleteKirsi W loves this line. Have you noticed all the super cute things her daughter wears? I love the bright colors.
ReplyDeleteMargo, its funny you mention Kirsi, it was actually her daughter's backpack that initiated my original interest!
ReplyDeletei love Marimekko.
ReplyDeleteI was in Finland about three yrs ago and went to one ofthe stores in Helsinki and well I left with my wallet a few dollars lighter.
Oh but so worth the cost. I bought a pair of the wooden clogs that can't find any longer.
