Product Insights
The Piccolo pattern, hand-painted in 1953 by Marimekko's first designer Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi, originated on the 1956 Jokapoika shirt and remains the brand's longest continuously produced garment. This 55 cm square scarf, standard bandana size, is woven from 100% matte cotton that grips hair for stable styling, keeps knots compact, and is breathable and moisture-wicking for warm-weather comfort. Its semi-sheer construction offers lightweight coverage but is not fully opaque, requiring hand washing in cold water and flat drying.
