About MARIMEKKO
Marimekko is a Finnish design house based in Helsinki renowned for its original prints and colors. Marimekko has made important contributions to fashion, especially in the 1960s. It is particularly noted for brightly colored printed fabrics and simple styles, used both in women’s garments and in home furnishings. Marimekko’s bold fabrics and bright, simple design strongly influenced late 20th-century taste. Many of the early Marimekko designs, including Maija Isola’s Unikko, remain in production today. They were made famous in the United States by Jacqueline Kennedy, who bought eight Marimekko dresses which she wore throughout the 1960 United States presidential campaign.
Today Marimekko is a leading textile company, producing fabrics, clothing and home furnishings. They have stores all over the world – from United States and Europe to Japan and Australia.

Stacy Clark –
I can’t say enough good things about Mari and Basket of Blue. Mari made me a specially requested bag — the bag came quickly, shipping is reasonable, the dimensions and specifications of the bag were just as I’d requested, and best of all, Mari’s work is gorgeous. I’m so happy with my new bag — I’m already thinking about the next one! Stacy
