Everyday carry-all tote
This Marimekko tote pairs a utilitarian style with a roomy main compartment, making it an option the merchant describes as perfect for everyday use. The indigo blue denim showcases the Unikko print by Maija Isola, and two long fabric shoulder straps let you carry it over the shoulder or grab it by hand.[1,2]
Product comparison
Compared within this brand.
| Vankka Unikko Denim Tote: Choose this if you want a large everyday tote in an iconic floral look: it carries Marimekko's Unikko print, created by artist Maija Isola, in indigo blue denim that is 100% cotton, with a roomy main compartment measuring about 16.5 inches tall by 15.75 inches wide and two long fabric shoulder straps made from the same patterned material. The merchant characterizes it as perfect for everyday use, and it shows the stitched Marimekko label at the front. It comes in one size, listed in the Slate Blue colorway, and a partial interior view shows denim facing with no lining or pockets clearly visible.[1,2,3] | Metka Unikko Green And Pink Tote: Choose this if you want a soft, unstructured tote in the Unikko pattern — large green florals on a pink background — with a drawcord top that cinches to change the bag's shape, in a design the brand frames as combining practicality with playfulness. It is made of 100% polyester (the recycled-polyester claim comes from brand pages for this product line), measures about 17.5 by 17.5 inches with a slim 1-inch width, and has two long shoulder straps plus an inner drawcord pouch. Note that the top cannot be closed with a zipper or button, so it suits shoppers comfortable with a drawstring-only opening.[4,5,6,7,8] | Metka Piccolo Black And White Tote: Choose this if you want a lightweight, soft-sided everyday tote in Marimekko's Piccolo print, a 1953 stripe pattern reminiscent of brush strokes, here in black and white. It's made of 100% recycled polyester, measures about 17.5 by 17.5 inches with a 1-inch width and flat bottom, and includes an inner drawstring pouch to cinch the opening shut. Note it's a slim one-size carryall that should be handwashed only, so it suits light everyday loads rather than bulky packing.[9,10,11,12,13] |
