New York Shopping: Marimekko

Welcome to my first edition New York Shopping Guide.
Today I want to introduce you to....

Marimekko
Located at 1262 Third Ave on the Upper East side in Manhattan this boutique is a chain from the a leading Finnish textile and clothing design company established in 1951. Though popular
worldwide, it hasn't hit the US big...yet.

They specialize in unique bright fabric designs which are sold as comforters and all kinds of accessories. The fabric can also be sold by the yard or stretched onto a frame to make a trendy wall hanging. Most of these photos are shrunken down pictures of LARGE pieces of fabric, if that helps you to see how large the cows and flowers are.




They also have quite adorable clothes and bags with neat patterns

My favorite bag on the website:

Here is some of the cute fashion:


Also go for the stationary, cooking utensils, umbrellas and other cute accessories. They also have fun bright colored shirts for men!
