Hooray for their courage! Unfortunately, though, a lot of women back then were led to believe that going to college was just for finding a suitable husband.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-33977849636350970022011-04-20T15:37:02.406-05:002011-04-20T15:37:02.406-05:00@monogirl: I'm kinda a geometric gal myself, s...@monogirl: I'm kinda a geometric gal myself, so I love the lowtops in the Kirppu pattern. But the purple and orange Tarha is pretty sweet. I have to admit, I was a little surprised at the patterns they chose, but I guess a lot of their huge prints don't translate well to shoes.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-86900229611320502852011-04-20T14:57:21.080-05:002011-04-20T14:57:21.080-05:00I love Marimekko!

I guess I was hoping for an Inikko pair to match my Marimekko umbrella.<br />I would love to have more Marimekko housewares.monogirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06633958961388414222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-61806508837316042892011-04-20T14:54:36.124-05:002011-04-20T14:54:36.124-05:00Love seeing women in business back in the day too....Love seeing women in business back in the day too.

Till I watched it, I had never thought of Marimekko as a mid-century company. Since I was a teenager in the mid-60s, which is when the company gained widespread recognition in the US, in my mind it was part of the Mod Era of the late 60s and early 70s. Boy, was I wrong! It was founded the year after I was born.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-38680104418125203882011-04-20T10:44:09.163-05:002011-04-20T10:44:09.163-05:00@Tanya: I read that Crate and Barrel is opening a ...@Tanya: I read that Crate and Barrel is opening a Marimekko shop at their Soho location in New York. The blurb said they will have textiles, accessories, bags, bed and bath, kitchen dining and "more." What the "more" is, and whether or not the accessories will just be for the home, I don't know.Dana@Mid2Modhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03055460107477850683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-50955147036562205592011-04-20T09:15:11.358-05:002011-04-20T09:15:11.358-05:00I love Marimekko.

I should post some pictures . . . <br /><br />It is hard to find Marimekko clothes & jewellery. The concept store in Boston had some clothes but no jewellery. A store in Thunder Bay (Canada) has an awesome selection of textiles; no clothes but lots of bolts of fabric and housewares.Tanya from Dans le Lakehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380013339154808400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9087940973013594269.post-24044659480054138892011-04-20T03:22:49.496-05:002011-04-20T03:22:49.496-05:00The geometric design gown? kaftan? is quite eye po...The geometric design gown? kaftan? is quite eye popping.
