The Mono Backpack is made of cotton, and it features the Piccolo pattern. The large Marimekko “M” is printed in the front. The backpack has a zipper closure, adjustable shoulder straps, and two open pockets in the front. There is a large open pocket on the inside big enough to fit a laptop. The ends of the zipper can be attached to the sides of the bag with snap buttons.
This product is 100% organic cotton.
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 shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
