| Vapaus Piirto Unikko Wool Skirt: Choose this if you want a slim, straight knit mini skirt in Marimekko's iconic Piirto Unikko poppy pattern, shown here in a black floral colorway with a large-scale white outlined floral motif. It is made from a merino wool and cotton blend (74% certified merino wool, 21% organic cotton, 5% polyamide) with a ribbed elastic waistband that sits at the natural waist, and it hits above the knee at a 43 cm (17 inch) length in size SMALL. Note that no pockets or fasteners are visible on the front, and the hem shows a subtle wavy edge, so it suits shoppers who prefer a simple pull-on knit without front closures.[1,2,3,4,5] | Myy Unikko Pleated Skirt: Choose this if you want a flowy midi skirt in Marimekko's iconic poppy pattern, with narrow accordion pleats that create a slightly flared, relaxed A-line silhouette and a matte crepe finish. It has an elastic waistband and a 33-inch (84 cm) length, made of 100 percent recycled polyester per the brand (dense, per its marketing). It comes in a dark gray and black floral print listed as Patterned Black, in sizes X-Small through X-Large, and its mid-calf length is shown on the model so it may sit differently on other wearers.[6,7,8,9,10] | Edetä Tumma Maxi Skirt: Choose this if you want a minimalist maxi skirt in flowy, unlined 100% cupro crepe with a straight, slightly flared A-line silhouette that falls to mid-calf at a listed length of about 33 inches (84 cm) from waist to hem. Choose it for the bold Tumma floral print—a high-contrast pattern of light-blue flowers on a red base, created by Maija Isola after her 1970 trip to Paris and printed in Helsinki—with a concealed back zip, elastic waist gather with hook-and-eye closure, and a narrow waistband that sits at the natural waist. Note that because Marimekko cuts its skirts using the full fabric width, each item's print appearance may vary, and the unlined fabric drapes fluidly rather than holding structure.[11,12,13,14,15,16,17,18,19] |
