Marimekko By Sweet Potatoes "Pops" With Poppies

Berkeley, CA - The Finnish design company, Marimekko, celebrates 50 years of creativity this November. Trademark Marimekko patterns continue to hold value and credibility. Maija Isola, one of Marimekko's original designers created "Unikko" or "Poppies", a classic evergreen design. "Unikko" and other designs from the 70's (as seen in the October 2000 issue of Elle Decor) are "popping" up in clothing, accessories, bedding and wallcoverings!

Sweet Potatoes interprets this revival in splashy, bright playwear that captures the imagination of girls size toddler-10. Little "hipsters" will look cool in peasant sundresses, halter tops and knit capris and soft drawstring shorts and tees offered in three fresh colorways.

The Marimekko "Pop" styles, an extension of Marimekko by Sweet Potatoes popular layette and infant collection, will be in showrooms this month and available in stores in Spring 2001.
