Pieni Unikko

cotton tote bag

The versatile cotton bag features the Pieni Unikko pattern. The lightweight bag is easy to tuck into another bag so that it is always with you.
Printed in Helsinki.

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.
