I got an email from Marimekko yesterday.
One of those promotional things that I must, at some point, have signed up to receive, but which normally I just ignore.
But this time, I didn’t.
Because I fell in love, right there and then, with the clothes in the pictures in the email…
I have had an on-off, love-hate affair with Marimekko for years.
Love the designs, hate the prices. Love the patterns, hate the lack of availability in this country.
These clothes have just brought that affair back into passionate focus…
Simple designs, eye-catchingĀ patterns, stylish and suitableĀ for all ages – why can’t more clothing designers achieve this?
Still expensive and difficult to obtain in the UK though.
Now if they could crack those issues too, I’d be over the flippin’ moon.Ā ā„
Well, quite. I feel the same way about them, to the point where I’ll buy any old rip-off simply because there’s a Marimekko shaped hole in my life!
