Paluu Unikko

The Paluu organic cotton twill overshirt has a relaxed, straight fit, and it is printed in the Unikko pattern. The overshirt has a pointed collar, a snap button closure, and loose sleeves that are finished with turned stitched hems. The shirt has five pockets: two chest pockets with openings at the sides near the button list, two large patch pockets at the hip with slanted side openings, and one small pocket inside the right patch pocket. The overshirt has a yoke seam in the back.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
