Product Insights

The Marimekko Unikko Knit Phone Clutch offers an entry into the iconic floral pattern, born from Maija Isola's defiance of a floral ban and her hand-painted original with an accidental fifth color from overlapping prints. Continuously printed since 1964, Unikko is a pop-art-inspired Scandinavian staple that adorns Finnair planes, Helsinki trams, and homes globally. This knit clutch fits iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with over an inch of clearance, is currently out of stock, and is priced at $29.95 on sale—$225 less than the leather Unikko phone bag. Hand wash with mild detergent and lay flat to dry.

Verified claims

Origin
Maija Isola defied Marimekko’s floral ban to create Unikko.
Cultural impact
Unikko has been continuously printed since its launch in 1964.
Value entry
At $29.95 CAD, it is $225 less than the $255 leather Unikko phone bag.
Artistic process
Maija Isola hand-painted the original Unikko in 1964, with visible brushwork and an accidental fifth color from overlapping prints.
Cultural significance
In continuous production since 1964, Unikko is a pop-art icon that appears on Finnair planes, Helsinki trams, and in Scandinavian homes.
Accidental fifth color
Original Unikko's accidental fifth color came from printing orange over red petals; the modern knit reproduction visually references that layered, imperfect printing method.
Design legacy
Unikko pattern has been continuously printed since 1964 and is a Scandinavian cultural staple.
Pop art debut
Unikko debuted in 1964, the year Warhol's Flowers premiered, and is described as pop art-inspired.
Cultural footprint
The pattern is a Scandinavian home staple and has appeared on Finnair planes and Helsinki trams.
Heritage
First printed in 1964 after defying a floral ban, Unikko has been a staple of Scandinavian homes ever since.
Entry price
At its $29.95 sale price, the clutch costs roughly 11% of the original $265 Marimekko leather Phone Pocket Shoulder bag.
Cultural ubiquity
Unikko is a Scandinavian cultural staple, appearing on everyday objects to aircraft.
Phone fit
Fits phones up to approximately 7.25 inches tall and 5 inches long, including iPhone 14 Pro Max and Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra.
Care instructions
No official care instructions are given; generally recommended to spot clean with a mild detergent and cold water, or hand wash and lay flat to dry.
Value vs knit shoulder bag
A knit shoulder bag in the Unikko pattern retails at $285, and this knit clutch was the most affordable knit Unikko accessory by about $100 even before the $29.95 clearance price.
Value vs standard leather phone pocket bag
At $29.95, the Knit Phone Clutch costs less than the tax on Marimekko's standard $255 leather Phone Pocket Bag.
