Marimekko, founded in 1951 by Armi Ratia and her husband Viljo, is a Finnish brand famous for its bold patterns and vibrant colors. Initially specializing in fabrics, the brand quickly expanded into women's fashion, home decor, and accessories. The name Marimekko, evoking "Mari’s dress" in Finnish, symbolizes the brand's commitment to creating unique and timeless designs. In the 1960s, Marimekko gained international acclaim, notably thanks to former American First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy who wore its creations. Today, Marimekko continues to blend tradition with innovation, staying true to its heritage while exploring new creative avenues.
