Kaika Mini Unikko
Pouch
The small Kaika cosmetic pouch is made of heavyweight upholstery cotton in the Mini Unikko pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The pouch has a zipper closure and a nylon lining on the inside.
Our cosmetic bags are sewn using the whole length of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary slightly. Each item is unique.
Marimekko's famous pattern Unikko was born in 1964 in a time when the design house's collections featured mostly abstract prints. Designer Maija Isola wanted to create something interesting from this organic theme and designed an entire range of floral prints. Today, the iconic flower represents creativity.
Unikko
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.
