It doesn’t come as a surprise to you that I like Marimekko – as a Finn, how could I not love our most famous design brand? I am very excited about the Banana Republic Marimekko collection coming to selected stores and online on May 22nd (also on
Banana Republic Europe). The entire collection is priced very low from $39.50 to $140, and it looks very promising! You can
read more about the designers and
SHOP NOW for the gorgeous pieces in this collection.
I love the Maija Louekari’s Kivet-print and the different sizes of the print used in the Banana Republic collection. The skirt and the pants are to die for!
Crew-Neck Sweater in Kivet Print $69.50, Mid-length Patio Skirt in Kivet Print $98, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Teak $89.00. 
Poplin Top in White $69.50, Hampton Pant in Kivet Print $79.50, Clutch in Kivet Print $39.50, Wayfarer in Black $98.50, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Black $89.00. 
Aino-Maija Metsola’s Jurmo-print is like a new version of the classic Kivet-print and in blue. It’s like rocks in the beach in the Turku archipelago, and the print carries a name of Jurmo island.
V-Neck Shift Dress in Jurmo Print $130.00, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Teak $89.00. 
Maija Louekari brings more color with her Siirtolanpuutarha print from the garden. I like the complex print in solid color, blue, like in the first outfits, but the original with colors of the summer makes a bigger statement.
Caftan in Siirtolapuutarha Print $110.00, Wayfarer in Black $98.50, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Teak $89.00.
Patio Dress in Siirtolapuutarha Print $130.00, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Teak $89.00. 
Peplum Top in Siirtolapuutarha Print $69.50, Hampton Short in Siirtolapuutarha Print $55.00, Ankle-Strap Sandal in Teak $89.00.

What a fun selection of patterns and prints. It looks like a collection that will appeal to all ages. I just signed up on the US Banana Republic website to get early shopping access May 21! Thanks for the heads up. Enjoy your weekend.
