Description

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.

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi

Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi (b. 1930) is a Finnish textile designer. Originally trained as a ceramist, she studied at the Institute of Industrial Arts in the ceramics department in Helsinki from 1948 to 1952 and worked for Arabia from 1952 to 1953. In 1953, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi joined Marimekko to design clothing and printed fabrics for clothing and interior decoration.

In the same year she married the famous Finnish designer Antti Nurmesniemi. Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi had a major impact on the formation of Marimekko’s original line of fashions and the development of its industrial production. The fabrics she created were something completely new and avant-garde in the 1950s in Finland. In 1953, she designed the striped Piccolo fabric, and from it the Jokapoika shirt in 1956 – the Jokapoika shirt is Marimekko’s oldest classic item in continuous production. Another beautiful print from Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi is Pirput parput, very popular and decorating a variety of objects. Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi worked at Marimekko until 1960.
