Tote your favorite Marimekko print around town, along with all your daily essentials. Maija Isola's poppies are just barely there in dark grey on black, for a modern, monochromatic, and minimal look that makes you look twice. The adjustable shoulder trap allows it to be worn as a traditional shoulder bag or as a crossbody. Inside the roomy interior is one open pocket, and the front flap opens with a magnetic button closure to reveal two smaller pockets underneath. The exterior cotton canvas is also treated with a stain-resistant wax to keep it looking crisp and clean.
Marimekko is a Finnish design house renowned for its bold, effusive prints and timeless patterns. The company was founded in 1951 by Finnish couple Armi and Viljo Ratia, and the name Marimekko translated literally means “Mary-dress.” Marimekko’s impact reaches far beyond just Finland, howev...

Undisputedly the most famous textile designer to have existed at Marimekko, Maija Isola created over 500 prints during her long and colorful employment. The height of her design notoriety occurred during the 1960’s, right around the time when she created her explosive Unikko pattern. In add... More Maija Isola
I was hoping this would have a zipper pocket on the inside. I have several Marimekko purses and none of them have a zipper pocket on the inside. This would be a great feature to add to all purses. The size is a little bigger than I wanted but overall good size for daily use and travel.

Best compact bag

I bought a different Marimekko bag before. But this one is far better because of compartments.

Best gift for the missus!

I bought this gift for my better half this Xmas. I always noticed that she either had the fancy evening gala kind of hand bags, or the totally functional yet ugly ones for day to day use. Going on vacation was always a challenge because she was never sure what kind of bag to bring. Enter this Marimekko bag - it's so functional and tough for daily use, yet has the class and elegance for a fancy night out in town.
Pros
Versatile - function and style rolled into one
Cons
I don't know if it's a con but like most Marimekko products, this is overpriced. At first, she loved it when I gave her the bag. But later, had a mini heart attack when I told her how much it cost (and this was the discounted price!)

Blast from the past

My daughter has worn my old black Marimekko shoulder bag to threads. At 25 years old she would not settle for anything else. I searched and could not find that old style bag anywhere. This Salli bag comes the closest, with similar size and function, the magnetic button closure being a must. My daughter loves it!

Love all things Marimekko and this purchase did not disappoint. When I had questions/concerns regarding my purchase I had immediate assistance to help resolve the issue. The mugs that were a gift with purchase are absolutely stunning and I’m in love with them. I appreciate how approachable this company is and how easy it is to order and get questions answered promptly.

Go-to Bag
November 14, 2021
Like most women, I own several bags; however, this bag has become my go-to bag. In addition to the fine design we've come to expect from Marimekko this bag is large enough to carry essentials combined with the light weight and cross body strap that enable it to be worn comfortably.

This bag goes everywhere and gets lots if compliments, especially from marimekko cognoscenti. Very lightweight, it looks and feels like a small bag but can hold a lot! Please bring it back. Maybe in some other colors too??

Dear “Salli”, I’ve looked for you a long time!

Take this bag to the theater, when you travel or use it daily for errands. The Black Unikko pattern goes with most outfits. The design is stylish, yet practical. It expands on the width, and doesn’t look bulky. It fits an iPad securely in addition to these items: phone, wallet, makeup bag, water bottle, eyeglass case, pocketbook..with some room to spare. (See photo attached)
Pros
The strap is adjustable and long enough to carry the bag cross shoulders, leaving your arms free.
Cons
Occasional need to use a lint brush to keep bag looking fresh.
