A striped essential, the Marimekko Korsi Sheet Set is best paired with the Marimekko Unikko Grey / Pink Duvet Set but still resonates strongly on its own. The wide, bold stripes by Fujiwo Ishimoto are softened by a crisp white and grey palette for beautiful balance. Made from 100% cotton percale sheets in a 300 thread count, the sheets are machine washable to retain the look and feel freshness for years to come.Marimekko Care Instructions

About Percale:
A high-quality weave, percale has a noticeably tighter weave that allows for a higher thread count which makes the fabric softer to the touch. Medium in weight, the fabric is matte with no additional sheen or shine but the texture is very smooth and able to resist warping and washes exceptionally well.
All other sizes include: 1 flat sheet, 1 fitted sheet & 2 pillowcases

The bold, effusive prints and textiles of Marimekko are the first to come to mind for many when thinking about Finnish design. Founded in 1951 by Finnish couple Viljo and Armi Ratia, the name Marimekko translated literally means "Mary-dress." Marimekko’s impact reaches beyo... More Marimekko
Attracted to Marimekko from the very beginning, Japanese-born Fujiwo Ishimoto found harmony between Japanese and Finnish design. Modern and minimalistic, his simple, clean and pure prints were eventually met great success at Marimekko.
Ishimoto began his long career with Marimekko in 1974... More Fujiwo Ishimoto
The Marimekko Korsi striped sheet set I bought is fine quality cotton, almost heavy enough that I don't need a blanket. The sheets are generous in size for my twin bed.
Pros
My pros I have listed already above.
Cons
I was a little sorry to see these sheets were made in Mexico to take advantage, I suppose, of the cheaper labor. Would I have been able to afford them if they had been made in Finland or Germany? Possibly not. I want to buy goods that are fairly traded even if they cost a little more.

I am a big -- make that huge fan of Marimekko. These sheets are a beautiful, soft gray color and one of Marimekko's tamer designs. Very elegant. Great fit. Great in the laundry. Great service.

not "soft and gentle," as the description says
August 14, 2015
I recently bought these Marimekko Korsi white/grey striped full sheets. The pattern is subtle and nice-looking, I like how the top sheet is considerably more faded in print than the bottom sheet, giving it a subtle look. But the essential problem is that sheets are not so much to be looked at but to be FELT. I have generally sensitive skin and detect when cotton is rough vs. smooth, and especially in a warm climate where I live where you feel warm all night, these sheets are scratchy, not "soft and gentle" as the description says. The products are not the same quality (nor, admittedly, the price) as you find in Europe. So Americans I guess get what they pay for, but I would really caution anyone from buying these sheets if they are sensitive to rough weaves of cotton. 300 thread count is apparently "rough", so I don't know why they are passing themselves off as "smooth and gentle". I have awoken a few times in the night since putting them on the bed, and the first thing I think of is 'high-number sandpaper'. Unfortunately I already washed them so can't return them :(. Customer service at Finnstyle was very pleasant and understanding, but it is what it is. I'm stuck with sheets that I won't be using.
