Famous brands in Finland

MarimekkoMarimekko is probably one of the most famous Finnish brands in the world. Marimekko was founded by Viljo and ArmiRatia in 195 1, and was famous for its unparalleled printed fabrics from the beginning. In particular, two designers VuokkoNurmesniemi (with bold stripes) and MaijaIsola (with large and simple floral prints) created hundreds of unique patterns, which made Marimekko famous. Today, the company's product portfolio includes high-quality clothing, bags and accessories, as well as home decorations from textiles to tableware. As of 20 19, Marimekko's products are sold in more than 40 countries around the world, and more than 150 stores cover northern Europe, North America and Asia Pacific. Marimekko not only brought happiness and positive energy to the cold and dark Finland after World War II, but also successfully broke through the Paris fashion circle at that time with her simple and generous printed fashion. In the 1960s, when Mrs. fashionicon Kennedy appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated with President Kennedy in vest skirt, Marimekko caused great repercussions around the world. As the founder of modern fashion design in Finland and even northern Europe, Marimekko is of epoch-making significance to the design of northern Europe today.
