Sixty years ago Armi and Viljö Ratia founded Marimekko and to celebrate the anniversary, during 2011 Marimekko will recover some of the biggest hits of its history:

In celebration of the anniversary, we’ve chosen 60 gems from our treasure trove. Each month we’ll feature new gems. Explore our stories and find your own gem!

As big fans of the brand, we also wanted to celebrate the anniversary making a sleeve for iPad and MacBook that oozes the simplicity and colorfulness of the finlandic company… and this is the result:

Made with Unikko, probably the most popular Marimekko’s fabric and our favourite, this sleeve it’s water resistant and it’s perfect to bring some happiness to those boring and cloudy raining days that appears from time to time.

We hope you like it enough to buy one: 65$ is a real bargain for this insta-classic timeless sleeve!

Jositajosi always felt particularly attracted to Scotland. In fact, all members of our team have visited Scotland on some occasion and we have come back fascinated. Maybe because of that nature in its purest form, perhaps by the timeless traditions or the charm and hospitality of its people… We don’t know.

I think we love Scotland in part because of its similarity to our land (Basque country), where we also have the good fortune to enjoy great landscapes and ancient traditions. Either riding through its green hills or strolling along the banks of majestic lochs, a small part of Scotland was recorded in our hearts.

OK, but how we ended up creating a series of products inspired by the land of the thistle? As mentioned above, we felt an affinity and we already were experimenting with different tartans. We just needed a customer with a custom order with the fabric of his clan to spark the project.

And here’s the result! Each of the patterns in this collection we named after two Scottish Islands. Skye Island and Lewis & Harris Island.

Few months ago we received a very special order: Vostok’s crew needed great iPad sleeves that oozes the same high quality that their website designs do. We worked with Vostok’s name and logo on the label design and their corporate color in the search for the perfect material for the sleeves.

Here is the result:
