Marimekko's Piccolo Silmälasi Kukkaro purse features a striped pattern designed by Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi in 1953, with multi-coloured stripes painted in free brush strokes. The pattern is best known for the legendary Jokapoika shirt, one of Marimekko's most famous products.
The versatile purse is ideal as a pencil case, wallet or eye-glass pouch (Silmälasi Kukkaro translates roughly to "glasses purse"), as well as for keeping other small essentials always within reach. The machine-washable Piccolo purse features a metallic frame that is easy to snap open, and its cotton fabric, made from 50% recycled materials, has been printed in Helsinki, Finland.
