Select Marimekko Silkkikuikka Bedding is on sale for a limited time.
Marimekko’s Silkkikuikka Bedding features a tri-colored pattern designed by Maija Isola in 1961. Inspired by the movements of the majestic Great Crested Grebe, this pattern is a reflection of these graceful birds and their watery habitat. Cool-hues and repeating wave-like lines gently suggest themes of water, plumage and flight.

This pattern is one of the few 100% percale duvet covers that was on sale so we bought the sheets and the duvets. They feel cool and smooth to the touch and I also like the percale weave for it's durability! Hope Marimekko would come out with more patterns of this very fine fabric.
