Yelp Review 2023 #229:
You'll see Adidas collaborating with Marimekko. But Marimekko is a textile and furnishing company from Finland that made it big into the mainstream when they dabbled into fabrics and fashion in the 1960's-1970's with their big, bold, colorful, and vibrant patterns. There's a reason for their longevity. They're part of art history books, you'll see Marimekko in museums, and pretty much everywhere.
This store has dresses, pants, skirts, tops, bags, tableware, umbrellas, etc. You'll know a Marimekko design once you see it. It's probably one of the most recognizable patterns in the world. The big poppy, squiggly lines, and big circles in different colors.
The pricing here is a bit more expensive compared to when you go to Finland of course and there's less to choose from. This is not a big store. There were only two ladies working here when I went. They were friendly by Scandinavian standards. I bought an umbrella that I lost the same day I bought it.
If you want Marimekko for less the price, go to Helsinki (lots more options) or buy from Adidas (very limited selections). read more
