About the brand: Bold and unique prints, paralleled by none. Neat Unikko S Crossbody in dark grey/grey polyester and silver-tone hardware; The Neat Crossbody S shoulder bag is made of recycled polyester in the Unikko pattern. The bag has an adjustable shoulder strap that is made of recycled polyamide. The small bag has a zipper closure, a zipper pocket and the Marimekko label on the front, and a slip-in pocket on the inside where the whole bag can be folded away for easy storage. Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko ́s design identity.
