Marimekko Love

Textile design brands used to be just confined to the world of interior designers. 
Thanks to this cross over phenomenon, some brands are now easily recognizable and coveted.

Marimekko is among the brands i love when it comes to bold and vibrant prints. 
So I'm just excited to see their signature prints on some Chucks in the mall a few days ago.


Personally I like the lo cut version with green laces. And aren't the shoe bags equally charming?


The Marimekko patterns featured in the sneakers include Tarha from 1963 and Pikkusuomu from 1965 by Annika Rimala and Kirppu from 1980 by Maija and Kristina Isola.



Marimekko, established in 1951, is a Finnish textile and clothing design company renowned for its original prints and colours. The company designs and manufactures high-quality clothing, interior decoration textiles, bags and other accessories.
