With roots as a textile company, Marimekko is a pioneer in printing fabrics. Still printed in Helsinki, Finland with environmentally safe methods and a state of the art printing screen system, Marimekko fabric offers limitless ways to incorporate the iconic patterns into your life. The versatile fabric can be used to revamp furniture, create custom curtains, display as wall hangings, fashion tablecloths or design your own dresses; the possibilities are endless. The work of both classic and rising Marimekko designers are converted to be printed on cotton, PVC, upholstery and other specialty fabrics, ensuring high quality products with their perfected print and review processes. Depending on the scale of the design, Marimekko fabric is either sold by the yard or by the repeat. When multiple yards or repeats of Marimekko fabric are ordered, they stay intact so you can use long-scale prints when needed.
There are many types of Marimekko textiles to choose from, such as heavyweight cotton or acrylic-coated cotton Marimekko fabric. Marimekko also offers some prints in special textiles like sateen or linen. Heavyweight Marimekko print cotton textiles can be cleaned in the washing machine while acrylic-coated Marimekko fabric is easily wiped clean (Marimekko no longer makes PVC Marimekko fabric), making it a great choice for tablecloths. Marimekko textiles are a great way to give a Pinterest project a designer look. Marimekko print textiles also make a great gift for the crafter or seamstress in your life; they will love working with the timeless print and unbeatable quality.
Sometimes we walk past joy without recognizing where it comes from. Get a glimpse into the world of printing Marimekko fabrics at the Marimekko factory in Helsinki, Finland:
