Uniqlo and Marimekko welcome 2024 with a new collaboration. Ever since they joined forces in 2018, these two international brands have consistently hit the mark with super optimistic and colorful limited edition capsule collections. These collaborations seamlessly blend the innovative design of the Finnish label with the practicality of the Japanese brand. The driving force behind this year’s project is the “Kivet” print, which translates to “stone” in Finnish, centered around polka dots. One of the most iconic pieces is the oversized fleece jacket, featuring a beige base, ensuring comfort and style for tackling cooler days with a touch of casual elegance. Another standout is the mini shoulder bag with the Kivet print, available in three color variations: light gray, dark gray, and beige. Thanks to its waterproof finish, this accessory – one of Uniqlo’s legendary items – not only provides protection for personal belongings but also strikes a perfect balance between fashion and functionality. The entire collection, primarily designed for women (though unisex items are not excluded), will be available both online and in Uniqlo stores starting from January 4th. By Germano D’Acquisto
