| Metka Piccolo Blue And Black Stripes Tote Bag: Choose this if you want a large, soft slouchy tote in a heritage print — it carries Marimekko's striped Piccolo design, created for the brand in 1953, on a 100% polyester body measuring about 17.5 inches high by 17.25 inches wide, in a one-size Patterned Blue variant. The two fabric handles work as grab or shoulder handles, and an interior blue drawstring pouch cinches closed inside the open top — a consideration if you prefer a fully secured bag, since there is no exterior closure. The front logo patch and visible topstitching add the branded, casual look if you favor Marimekko's signature stripes.[1,2,3] | Metka Piccolo Black And White Tote: Choose this if you want a playful, lightweight Marimekko tote in the classic black-and-white Piccolo stripe, with a drawcord opening that gathers the top and lets the silhouette change shape. It is made of 100% polyester with matching striped shoulder straps, and measures about 17.5 inches (44.5 cm) in both height and length. Note that it is a soft, unstructured tote with no visible padding, so it stays light and flexible rather than holding a rigid shape.[4,5,6,7,8,9] | Metka Unikko Green And Pink Tote: Choose this if you want a roomy, playful statement tote: it shows a large green Unikko floral on a pink background, measures about 17.5 by 17.5 inches with a gathered drawstring top that cinches into a new silhouette, and carries on two long shoulder straps. It is listed in 100% polyester with a matching polyester lining and one size only. Note the opening cannot be closed with a zipper or button, and the listing is inconsistent about whether it is a tote or a crossbody bag.[5,10,11,12] |
