Jokamekko

The Jokamekko cotton shirt dress has a relaxed, straight fit and it features the Piccolo pattern. The dress has a pointed collar, a metal button closure and a chest pocket. There are pockets at the side seams. The fabric is printed in Helsinki.

Our dresses are sewn using the whole width of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary. Each item is unique.

In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
