Marimekko's Metka Mini Unikko Kioski shoulder bag is adorned with Maija Isola’s iconic floral pattern, now scaled down to make it even more charming. Made from 100% recycled polyester, the spacious yet stylish bag is an easy companion for city errands and leisure time alike. The drawstring design makes it a clever choice for use as a laundry bag, too! A circular Marimekko logo, crafted from recycled silicone, is sewn onto the front of the Metka Mini Unikko Kioski shoulder bag, adding a thoughtful and stylish finishing touch to the overall look.
All fans of Finnish design surely recognise Unikko, but have you ever heard the story behind the pattern? Maija Isola created it in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had publicly announced that no floral fabrics would be printed at the design house. Isola did not accept these rules and restrictions without a fight and, in protest, ended up designing an entire collection of bold floral patterns. One of these designs was Unikko, which quickly became a favourite of Ratia, too. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide.
