What’s new: Marimekko’s Pepe collection

We can almost taste the papaya! Featuring a pair of pretty parrots and an invigorating palette of colors, Marimekko’s upbeat Pepe print brings in instant summer.

MARIMEKKO’S PEPE COLLECTION features a spectacular motif designed by Maija Isola in 1970. The mood-boosting Pepe pattern depicts two parrots meeting up in the middle of a lush jungle. Recreated with a palette of fresh, tropical colors, the Pepe collection takes you on a trip to paradise.

A juicy orange hue is abundant in Marimekko's summer collection. Paired with bold turquoise and soft beige, the color looks irresistibly refreshing.

To name just a few, the collection includes a duvet cover made from crisp cotton percale, delectable additions to the Oiva tableware collection and an extra-large beach towel ideal for sun-drenched trips to the seashore. Pepe cotton fabric allows you to create a pair of stunning summer curtains or a tablecloth – or you can use it as a light picnic blanket as such.
