Product Insights
Marimekko's Edetä Tumma Maxi Skirt ($440 CAD) showcases the bold, bulbous floral Tumma pattern created by Isola in 1970 as a Paris souvenir, marking a creative shift toward Arabian-inspired designs. The skirt is made from plant-based cupro crepe, a vegan and sustainable fabric derived from cotton waste that offers anti-static, breathable, moisture-wicking properties and holds dye with sharp fidelity for vivid pattern longevity. Cupro's pebbled texture helps the hem hold its shape while feeling cool against the skin. The fitted silhouette (size up if between sizes) features an elastic-gathered back waist, hook-and-eye closure, and concealed zipper. The core promise is an eco-friendly, comfortable skirt with long-lasting color and drape, though the red version is generally opaque without a slip in most lighting, and dry cleaning is recommended to maintain shape and reduce wrinkles.
Verified claims
- Design story
- Created as a Paris souvenir in 1970, Tumma pattern belongs to Isola's Arabian-inspired series and marks a creative shift.
- Pattern appearance
- Marimekko's archives describe the Tumma pattern as a bold, bulbous floral.
- Print longevity
- 100% cupro crepe holds dye with sharp fidelity for vivid pattern longevity.
- Comfort and drape
- Cupro crepe is anti-static and breathable, with a pebbled texture that helps the hem hold its shape.
- Opacity
- Cupro holds dye for rich, long-lasting colors; the red skirt is generally opaque without a slip in most lighting.
- Eco-friendly materials
- Cupro is plant-based and made from cotton waste, offering a vegan and sustainable alternative to silk.
- Fit
- Fitted through hips; size up if between sizes for comfort.
- Waistband
- Back waist has elastic gather, hook-and-eye closure, and concealed zipper.
- Breathability
- Cupro fabric wicks moisture and feels cool against the skin.
- Anti-static
- Cupro resists static cling, preventing the skirt from sticking to bare legs.
- Care
- Dry cleaning is recommended to maintain the skirt's shape and flow; hand washing in cold water with a gentle detergent may work but is not officially tested and could cause shrinking or distortion.
- Pattern contrast
- The Edetä's allover floral is a high-contrast floral garden pattern.
- Wrinkle and pilling
- The cupro crepe is smooth and resistant to pilling, but it wrinkles fairly easily; proper care such as dry cleaning or gentle hand washing with hang drying helps it maintain its drape.

| Edetä Tumma Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a minimalist fit-and-flare maxi skirt in a bold, bulbous floral—Maija Isola's Tumma print from 1970, inspired by a trip to Paris—with rounded pale blue flowers allover a red ground. Made of 100 percent cupro crepe with a soft drape and slight sheen, it has a narrow fitted waistband with visible elastic gather, a concealed back zipper, and a narrow hem. Note that it is unlined and, while labeled maxi length, it falls to mid-calf on the model in the product images.[1,2,3,4,5,6] | Myy Unikko Pleated Skirt: Choose this if you want a statement midi skirt in Marimekko's Unikko poppy print, with narrow accordion-style knife pleats, a flowy flared A-line silhouette, and an easy elastic waist. The 100% polyester crepe is described as soft and resistant to creasing with a beautiful drape, and it falls to mid-calf at a 33 inch (84 cm) length. It comes in a Patterned Black colorway in sizes X-Small through X-Large, so it suits shoppers comfortable with fully synthetic fabric.[7,8,9,10] | Maridenim Unikko Wide-Leg Jean: Choose this if you want Marimekko's iconic Unikko poppy pattern rendered in blue tones on a mid-rise, wide-leg jean, with the print created by a laser technique that removes color from the fabric. It suits shoppers drawn to its structured 100 percent cotton denim with no stretch—made with 80 percent organic and 20 percent recycled cotton following the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's Jeans Redesign guidelines—including removable buttons and no rivets. Note the 32.25 inch (82 cm) inseam is full-length and as worn on the model the hems pool slightly at the floor, so consider that length relative to your height.[11,12,13,14] |
