Description

Marimekko's Piccolo puolikas kukkaro purse features a striped pattern designed by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi in 1953, with multi-coloured stripes painted in free brush strokes. The pattern is best known for the legendary Jokapoika shirt, one of Marimekko's most famous products. The stripes appear in a different colourway on the reverse side of the purse, while the lining is finished in a solid colour for a clean look.

Finnish for "half purse", Puolikas Kukkaro is a versatile small pouch, ideal for storing toiletries or small office supplies as well as for keeping other small essentials always within reach. The machine-washable pouch features a metallic frame that is easy to snap open. Made from cotton, the Piccolo purse has been printed in Finland.

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi (1930–2026) is a Finnish textile artist renowned for her bold graphic expression and minimalist yet distinctive fashion collections. She graduated as a ceramic artist from the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki in 1952 and initially worked for Arabia and the Nuutajärvi glassworks. Just a year later, she joined Marimekko as a designer.

During the 1950s, Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created several iconic Marimekko classics, including the Jokapoika shirt, launched in 1956. In 1964, she founded her own namesake brand Vuokko, through which she developed timeless, characterful garments with a focus on everyday wear.

Over the course of her long career, Eskolin-Nurmesniemi has received numerous international accolades, including the Lunning Prize in 1964, the Pro Finlandia Medal in 1969, and the Prince Eugen Medal in 1986. She was named Fashion Artist of the Year in 2001, and in she was awarded the honorary title of Academician of Art.
