The Marimekko Shop!

Ever since my mom designed my little sister's room using Marimekko fabric and wall designs, I have been a huge fan. So, since they opened a Marimekko Shop at my local Crate & Barrel (2 blocks from my house which is VERY dangerous!) I just had to give a visit. They have lots of eye pleasing products from goodies for the little one to kitchen gear to bedding. And yes, they do sell fabric by the yard if you want to make your own Marimekko creations!


Of course, my favorite was their bedding collection. Fun designs with bold colors!

Now, the item I was least impressed with were the handbags. If I'm going to spend $85 on a bag I want it to be sturdy and well-made. As cute as they are, when I checked out these bags I found them to be flimsy.

Great fabric design, but it wasn't even lined! NOT worth $85 in my opinion. Seriously, you could buy the fabric and make a great bag for well under 85 bucks.

So, if you're going to check out the shop, or the website, I would go directly to the kitchen and bath wares, the bedding (obviously) and the kid's items. Really cute stuff!!!
