Marimekko, my love.

This summer I needed to buy a new wallet and a new make up bag. My old wallet was torn apart and my old make up bag was way too small, so I headed straight to Marimekko. It's my second favourite Finnish design company and they're known all over the world. Even Carrie Bradshaw had Marimeko curtains! (The print is called Satula.)

In Helsinki there's a lovely luxury shopping centre, Kämp Galleria, which has a huge Marimekko store in two floors. I love to go there although it makes me sad because I normally don't have money to buy the clothes or bags. But I bought these (the more inexpensive stuff):

The blue stripey one reflected my style so perfectly. It's not a usual wallet, it's kind of granny style, but I love stripes, blue and white and it was so easy to throw everything there, money and cards in the same pocket. BUT some mean idiot stole it in Spain. I lived there for a month this summer and with my friend we went to the biggest 2nd hand market place in Fuengirola one Sunday and after the round I noticed my dear wallet was gone :( And there was also a Marimekko store in Fuengirola (million Finnish people live there...) but I thought I would move on and not buy the same kind again.

The black and white bag I also love really much (the print is called Pirput Parput). I hope I never have to get rid of it.
