Tote Unikko shoulder bag, M, black

Marimekko's Tote Unikko shoulder bag is a spacious and versatile carryall, adorned with the quilted Logo pattern. Made from recycled polyester, the padded shopper is designed to meet the demands of daily life as well as weekend getaways. The zip closure opens to reveal ample space for your laptop, books, and other daily essentials, keeping everything neatly in place. The Tote Unikko bag features soft handles that make it comfortable to carry, even on longer journeys. The minimalist look is completed by leather details, a Marimekko label on the front, and a Marimekko key strap.

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.
