Maridenim Marssi Jäkälä

The mid-indigo Maridenim Marssi jean shorts are made of non-stretch cotton denim in the Jäkälä pattern. The classic 5-pocket jean shorts have a mid-rise waist and straight trouser legs. They have Marimekko jean buttons and the Marimekko jean label in the back which is made of FSC-certified jacron-material.

Marimekko Maridenim products are designed following the Jeans Redesign guidelines of the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, world’s leading network on circular economy. According to the guidelines, the denim material is monomaterial cotton (80% organic cotton and 20% recycled cotton) with no elastane. Marimekko Maridenim is made with minimal use of hardware, including the use of removable buttons and no rivets. The washing, finishing and use of chemicals also follow the guidelines. To produce the colours, patterns and desired feel of the products, we use, for example, laser technology, E-Flow steam washing and ozone washing, instead of, for example, traditional stone washing.

Fujiwo Ishimoto’s Jäkälä (lichen) check pattern was originally part of a collection entitled Iso karhu (Ursa Major), which was inspired by textiles patterned using the traditional ikat dyeing technique.

Maridenim products have a special finishing and patina which gives each piece a unique, distinctive character. This feature is part of the charm and appeal of Maridenim products.
