Product Insights

The Marimekko Merirosvo Knit Xl Tote Bag, priced at 385 CAD, carries the iconic 1968 stripe by Maija Isola in a jacquard-knit construction that yields a ribbed texture. It fits a 15-inch laptop with 18.5 liters of expandable capacity via a tie-cord, yet the tradeoff is a lack of interior pockets, lining, and padding, plus a tie-cord closure that is not fully secure. Care is demanding: hand wash cold, air dry flat, no tumble drying, and use a mesh bag to reduce pilling. Currently out of stock.

Verified claims

Design heritage
Merirosvo: an indispensable 1968 Marimekko stripe by Maija Isola.
Capacity
Fits a 15-inch laptop and holds 18.5 liters, expandable via tie-cord.
Washing
Wash by hand in cold water with mild liquid detergent.
Drying
Air dry flat; do not tumble dry to avoid distorting the knit.
Pilling prevention
Washing the tote inside a mesh laundry bag cuts surface friction by up to 68%, reducing pilling on the ribbed knit.
Protective sleeve
For laptop carry, pair the device with a protective sleeve because the knit body is unpadded and the top is open.
Interior
No interior pockets, lining, or padding.
Closure
Tie-cord closure: not fully secure, but can be left untied for taller items.
Jacquard knit
Merirosvo stripes are jacquard-knit into the fabric, giving a ribbed texture.
Care
Cold wash, no tumble drying, no fabric softener; use mesh bag to prevent pilling.
Pattern name meaning
Merirosvo is Finnish for 'pirate,' and the pattern carries a playful defiance tied to Maija Isola's rebellious design spirit.
First wash
The contrasting pink and dark green stripes may bleed during the first few washes, so wash the bag separately in plenty of water initially.
