Product Insights
The Marimekko Unikko Throw (130x180 cm, $325 CAD) centers on Maija Isola's 1964 act of defiance—a floral pattern in continuous production since, now celebrated in its 60th anniversary. This black-on-white reversible jacquard (60% wool, 40% cotton) offers two distinct looks, with inverted colors equally vivid on both sides, emphasized by the monochrome graphic architecture for modern interiors. The woven construction resists fading and peel, while cotton offsets wool's scratchiness for a soft hand. Wool's natural thermoregulation provides warmth without overheating, ideal for cooler months or air-conditioned spaces, though the tradeoff is that it requires dry cleaning only.

LOVELY ANC COSY HROW WITH BEAUTIFUL DESIGN
Gorgeous and warm
I love a little throw at the end of a bed and this one is a gift to myself. It is heavy-ish which makes it a lovely warm layer. Beautiful.

Warm attractive useful exactly what
Warm attractive useful exactly what I anticipated!
My name is Sandra Brown
My name is Sandra Brown and I sent this to my daughter in Yellowknife. Her name is Sara Brown. When I ordered it, I clicked on the fact it is a gift and saw that there was free gift wrap and a card. My daughter tells me there was a card but the item was not wrapped. When I got the confirmation of the order I saw that Sara was listed as the purchaser so called your customer service and was told she could not correct this. Serious doubts I will order again.
