Timeless design, natural materials, very practical for everyday use. I've been owning Marimekko Olkalaukku Urbaani bags for almost twenty years. Can't imagine myself without it anymore.

This was a replacement for one I bought in 2011. Why did Marimekko add an iternal zip to the main compartment? Anoyingly unfunctional so it has been cut out. Otherwise as well made as expected.
