Marimekko's Mini Unikko Puolikas Kukkaro purse is decorated with Maija Isola's iconic poppy pattern. Finnish for "half purse", Puolikas Kukkaro is a versatile small pouch, ideal for storing toiletries or small office supplies as well as for keeping other small essentials always within reach. The machine-washable purse features a metallic frame that is easy to snap open. Made from 50% recycled cotton, the Mini Unikko purse has been printed in Finland.
The Unikko pattern came about in 1964 after Armi Ratia, the founder of Marimekko, had announced in public that no floral fabrics are designed at Marimekko. Maija Isola did not accept rules or restrictions and designed in protest a complete collection of bold floral patterns: Unikko, a Finnish word that means poppy. Today, Unikko is one of Marimekko's best-known patterns and is recognized worldwide.
