Be environmentally–conscious in more ways than one with the Marimekko Pieni Unikko Silver Medal Bag. Marimekko hates to see fabric go to waste, but they also have a strict inspection process to ensure quality. Combine these two traits and voilà; the silver medal bag is born. If fabric doesn't meet the "gold medal" standard, which is fewer than four flaws per bolt, then it becomes silver medal (and without knowing this secret, you'd never notice.) Take the eco-friendly factor of this bag even further by making it your go-to reusable market tote. Support the sustainable practices of a favorite Finnish company and score a beautiful bag with the Marimekko Pieni Unikko Silver Medal Bag.

Pros

Cons
could be better designed given it is a tote: the handles are thin and tend to roll up on your shoulder (which is both unsightly and irritating). They can be ironed out but it would be better if they were simply a bit thicker and reinforced with extra fabric.
