Marimekko 2024 Kellotus Unikko Cotton Poplin Dress

We are all about eliminating fashion waste at Pappa Sven, but we also know that there are items that can still be made beautifully, sustainably and with a very very long lifespan....and this dress is your perfect example.

Generations of Unikko lovers will enjoy this dress before it falls apart at the seams and is repurposed into some sweet napkins.

The Kellotus organic cotton poplin dress has a slim, A-line fit with a bell-shaped hem. The dress features the Unikko pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. It has a deep V-neck, a central front seam, loose, elbow-length sleeves, and side seam pockets.

Marimekko dresses are sewn using the whole width of the fabric, and therefore their appearance may vary. Each item is unique.

This product celebrates the 60th anniversary of the Unikko pattern.

Unikko was created by Maija Isola in 1964 and has since become an international icon of print design. The founder of Marimekko, Armi Ratia, believed that it was not possible to faithfully capture the true essence of real flowers in print, which is why floral prints were earlier excluded from Marimekko collections. So, Maija Isola designed Unikko to be an abstraction of a flower rather than a photorealistic rendition. Today, Unikko is a powerful emblem of joy and creativity, seamlessly integrated into Marimekko´s design identity.
