The Marimekko Piccolo Bag is a cotton tote printed in Helsinki, with the Marimekko label sewn on the front. Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo in 1953, the year she joined Marimekko, painting the stripe with vivid brushstrokes; three years later the Jokapoika shirt made from the fabric reached the shops and the streets, and it has stayed there.
The bag is sewn in Estonia from 100% organic cotton, measures 43 x 44 cm and comes in Pink / Cranberry. The fabric carries an Oeko-Tex certificate. Wash at the temperature given.
Keep it by the door for the market and the library, and see the other printed pieces in the Marimekko collection.

Piccolo: the 1953 brushstroke stripe, still at Marimekko
DesignerVuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi
Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi painted the Piccolo stripe freehand in 1953, the year she joined Marimekko. In 1956 it became the Jokapoika shirt, Marimekko's longest-running garment. Here the stripe and its broad Iso Piccolo version cover cushion covers, bedding and a tote bag.

Painted by hand
Vivid brushstrokes give the stripe its loose, hand-painted look.
Stripes that overlap
Where stripes cross, a third colour appears.
Over 70 years in use
Marimekko designers still work with the stripe today.
Sizes for the home
Cushion covers, pillow cases, a duvet cover and a tote.
Painted by hand
Eskolin-Nurmesniemi painted Piccolo freehand. The stripes overlap so the base fabric does not show through, and the overlap creates a third colour. It has stayed in Marimekko's collections since 1953.
From shirt to home
Three years after the stripe was painted, the Jokapoika shirt cut from it reached the shops and the streets. Today the stripe runs across cushions, some printed in two directions, and a cotton tote printed in Helsinki.
Iso Piccolo in bed
Iso Piccolo enlarges the stripe for bedding. The 200 thread count percale is 75% organic and 25% recycled cotton. The duvet cover has hand openings at the top corners, metal buttons at the bottom and double topstitching.
Materials
- Organic cotton canvas
- A sturdy weave for cushion covers and the tote; wash with similar colours.
- Cotton percale
- Crisp, cool bedding in 200 thread count, softening with each wash.
- Cotton and linen blend
- Recycled and organic cotton with linen in one cushion cover, for a dry, textured feel.
Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi worked at Marimekko from 1953 to 1960. She replaced the tight waist of fifties fashion with loose, architectural shapes, often cut with a single seam. Her silhouettes were ahead of their time, and Jokapoika, her 1956 shirt, is still made.
Using it at home
Does Piccolo mix with other Marimekko prints?
Yes. A plain stripe sits well beside florals such as Unikko on a bed or sofa.
How big is the bag?
It measures 43 x 44 cm and weighs 0.1 kg.
What is it made of?
100% organic cotton.
How do I wash it?
Wash it with similar colours at the temperature on the care label.
What does it carry?
Its flat size suits groceries, books or a laptop sleeve for everyday use.
