Iloisa Mini Unikko Kioski shoulder bag, light pink - grey - red

Marimekko's Iloisa Mini Unikko Kioski shoulder bag is adorned with Maija Isola’s iconic floral pattern, now scaled down to make it an even more charming size. Made from 100% recycled polyester, the compact bag is surprisingly spacious as it features two separate compartments, one of which includes an additional mesh pocket. Both compartments close with zippers so your everyday essentials are safely stored. The Iloisa Mini Unikko bag comes with an adjustable shoulder strap that can also be fully removed, allowing you to carry the bag on the shoulder or wear it crossbody, just the way you prefer. The circular Marimekko logo on the front finishes the look.

All fans of Finnish design surely recognize 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 favorite of Ratia, too. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known and most beloved patterns worldwide.
