Pieni Unikko

apron

This cotton apron features the classic Pieni Unikko pattern. It has one front pocket, an adjustable neck strap and bands at the waist that can be tied together at the back.

Unikko (poppy) was designed in 1964 after Armi Ratia, Marimekko´s founder, had announced that Marimekko would never print a flower pattern. Maija Isola refused to obey Armi´s orders and - in protest - created an entire series of floral prints. One of them was Unikko which has become a story of creativity, strength, courage and faith in oneself.
