Autumn 2008

In the colour palette for Marimekko's new bag line, red and golden autumn tones glow alongside gentle earthy hues.

The prints featured in both Mika Piirainen’s and Samu-Jussi Koski’s bag designs are by Maija and Kristina Isola. In the handsome Rosetta pattern, the delicacy of the floral motif is counterbalanced by strong, dramatic colours. Vissy is a fun, bubbly circular pattern, and a similar vibrancy radiates from the dotted Kiss-kiss. The Trio print brings to mind a backgammon board or the Northern Lights.

An elegant brown hue has been added to the range of colours for the popular Roadie line of bags designed by Ristomatti Ratia. The classic Olkalaukku shoulder bag is also available in a new colour, a deep fuchsia.
