Product Insights

Marimekko's Kioski Diagonaali Piccolo Poplin Short reissues a 1953 hand-painted Piccolo print from Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi as a radical classic in the streetwear line Kioski. The 100% cotton poplin fabric, with 94% wrinkle recovery and 85 CFM breathability, keeps the overlapping brushstroke stripes sharp and cool. Available often at 50% off (retail $215–265, down to $107), it features an elastic drawstring waist and relaxed cut with side slits for mobility, but requires washing at 60°C and air drying to maintain the print, and is currently out of stock.
