Shhh...Fall under winter’s spell and start your preparations, simple or
elaborate, for the most celebrated of holidays.
Leave behind the hurry and fuss of others and enjoy your own
peace and quiet. Even take inspiration from Mother Nature –
quietly asleep under a blanket of snow.
And as twilight deepens into night, celebrate the most precious
of gifts: friends, family, and the comfort of home.
Because sometimes the best holiday is the simplest celebration.
We wish everyone a joyous Holiday Season!

NEW COLLECTION
My Finnish heritage is a huge
infl uence on my artwork. The new
Christmas collection celebrates the
many magnifi cent qualities I hold
dear in my homeland – from the se-
rene fells of the far north to old har-
bour villages on the southern coast
and the enchanted archipelago in the
southwest of the country. I also ad-
mire Finnish architecture and design
– its unique character and history.
The new collection features
three fabric prints. My favourite
is Kultakero because it evokes a
very personal memory. It was on a
snow shoe walk up on the fells and
through the pine forests of Pyhä-
Luosto National Park in Lapland
that I decided this landscape must
become a Marimekko pattern. Kul-
takero is also a wonderful way to
bring a massive expanse of Finnish
landscape into your home.
Raanu is a playful pattern based
on a traditional Finnish wall tapestry
called raanu. Many of my Finn-
ish relatives have traditional raanu
wall hangings, and I have two in my
home in England. I wanted to use
the horizontal stripes, a classic fea-
ture of a traditional raanu, and fi ll it
with a fun pattern creating a mod-
ern interpretation of a traditional
handicraft.
Completing the collection is
Vanhakaupunki. It celebrates the
charming wooden architecture
found in the 'old town' parts of
many Finnish cities and the sleepy
harbour villages along the south-
ern coast of Finland and the vast
archipelago between Finland and
Sweden.
The tea towel set inspired by
Raanu and Vanhakaupunki is prob-
ably my favourite gift tip for the
holidays. I also like the playful Hauki
apron and oven glove. They are the
perfect gift for men who love cook-
ing, because the colourway is quite
masculine. My mother will want to
get at least one of every item from
the collection. There will be lots
of gifts under the tree for her this
Christmas!
MY CHRISTMAS
Christmas means having quality
time with the ones I love. I usually
spend my Christmases in different
places. Sometimes I hire a cottage
in the Lake District, a really wonder-
ful part of England with big moun-
tains and massive lakes. Lapland, of
course, is another favourite Christ-
mas destination.
But I do like to spend every
other Christmas at home, so I can
celebrate the holidays with my one-
eyed cat, Bramble. I always feel sad
whenever he is left behind. This
year Christmas will be at home! It
will be lovely to have a quiet Christ-
mas with just my fi ancé and Bram-
ble. We’ll prepare a Finnish feast, go
on bike rides to work off all the food
we'll be eating and then relax in the
evenings watching fi lms by the log
In 2008, Finnish-British illustrator and graphic designer Sanna
Annukka sought inspiration in the Finnish national epic Kalevala as
she worked on her fi rst pattern collection for Marimekko. Now she
has designed a new collection that draws on Finnish traditions and
landscapes. Sanna talks about her latest artwork for Marimekko and
shares her thoughts about Christmas.

fi re! And Santa Claus can bring me
the best gift of all: happiness and
good health for everybody.
Many of my childhood Christ-
mases were spent in England. We
would celebrate Christmas Eve with
lovely Finnish Christmas foods and
traditions, while Christmas Day was
celebrated in the English way. We
would always open our gifts on Christ-
mas Day and afterwards prepare a
big roast dinner. The house would be
fi lled with mouth watering aromas.
My favourite Christmas food is
homemade lanttulaatikko or Finn-
ish turnip casserole. I eat so much of
the stuff at Christmas that it usually
takes a year to recover before my
craving for tasty casserole starts all
over again. When it comes to Christ-
mas decorations, I love traditional
colours like red, green and gold. And
I always hang a himmeli – a tradi-
tional Finnish straw decoration –
from the ceiling. The best part is the
smell of pine needles mixed with the
sweet scent of oranges and cloves.
My fondest Christmas memories
come from a family Christmas spent
in Lapland about six years ago.
We stayed in a beautiful log cabin.
What made this Christmas so special
was that I could spend it with my
niece and nephew. Christmases are
defi nitely more magical with kids
around. It was on Christmas Eve af-
ter a snowy walk that we returned
to the cabin to discover Santa had
been there. He had left a sea of gifts
under the Christmas tree. We even
found little foot prints by the fi re-
place – probably made by a tonttu
or gnome in English. It was magical
for the children, who were amazed.
On the same trip I saw the Aurora
Borealis for the fi rst time. It was a
perfect Christmas.
AN ENGLISH CHRISTMAS
In England, carol singing used
to be a popular Christmas tradition.
Even today I sometimes open the
door to a whole group of adults and
children singing Christmas carols.
It’s always a lovely surprise. Other
traditions include midnight church
services on Christmas Eve and the
Queen’s Christmas Message broad-
cast on Christmas Day.
Traditional English Christmas
foods include roast turkey, York-
shire pudding, Brussels sprouts,
mince pies with a rich fruit fi lling of
raisins, mixed peel and spices, and
Christmas pudding. The pudding
is drenched in brandy before it is
fl ambéed and served with cream or
brandy butter.
Boxing Day is a popular day for
visiting country pubs. England has
a pub culture unlike any other coun-
try in the world. We are lucky to
have some incredibly beautiful and
ancient pubs with low ceilings and
roaring fi res, serving wonderful ales
and wines and tasty food.

We asked some of the men at Marimekko to tell us what kind of
Marimekko gifts they would get for their loved ones or hope to get for
Christmas themselves. Spoiler alert: this article reveals a secret or two.
MIIRO PIIPPONEN
I like buying Maija Isola classics for my mother – probably something red and traditional. If I can’t fi nd the right product gift, buying colourful fabric by the metre is the perfect sur-prise for someone who likes to sew. So when you’re in the shop, you nev-er have to think twice whether she wants an apron or tablecloth.
My father and father-in-law are big fans of Jokapoika shirts. The teenagers in the family appreciate Tasaraita shirts and socks – the right match to get you into the spring mood. Bags and footwear are always at the top of their wish list, but I usu-ally get them Marimekko shoulder bags and Converse Marimekko sneakers after the holiday season.
I enjoy getting soft gifts more and more – especially after people stopped giving me wool long johns! Wool sweaters are somehow easier to wear. Maybe this Christmas I’ll wish for a bathrobe – nothing white or bor-ing, but one with plenty of colour and patterns. It’s the perfect gift while I’m waiting for Marimekko jeans.
JEREMIAH TESOLIN
For me, buying Marimekko is all about selecting the print fi rst, then the product. When choosing the right print, I also try to think of what sorts of colours and prints work for the person I'm shopping for. Something bright and colourful – and I always look at the character and shape of the print. How it was made, who made it, and so on.
This Christmas, I’m buying a col-lection of items for my sister Jessica who lives in Montreal, Canada. Be-cause she lives at a distance, I usually buy small fabric items. Dish towels are always appreciated. And we have a running joke where I have mistak-enly given her cosmetic bags without remembering she already has several from Marimekko. But she said re-cently that she always fi nds a use for them, so this Christmas might be yet again, a cosmetic bag!
Ah for myself – defi nitely a new cosmetic bag.
JOHAN LEUTOLA
My girlfriend collects Oiva table-ware with different patterns, so I’m going to buy her a collection with the Vanhakaupunki pattern. They’ll be the perfect addition to our colourful holi-day table setting.
My outgoing mother will get a brown-grey Pasi bag from the Normi series. It’s the right size for her wal-let, keys, and telephone. My mother loves bags, and you can never have enough of them.
I hope I get a new black Olkalaukku designed by Ristomatti Ratia. My current Olkalaukku is sev-eral years old, and it’s been with me everywhere. In a way, my old trusted shoulder bag is wishing for a new friend this Christmas.
JUHA MURREMÄKI I have to admit that I’ve never
been very good at buying gifts. But nowadays I’m fast becoming a sea-soned gift shopper. You could say it’s one of the perks of working for Marimekko.
For my wife, I recently bought a Tasaraita jersey dress and a Mombasa dress. I’ll probably get her a nightgown for Christmas. For our daughter, I’ve al-ready bought a Kissamekko dress and a Puketti dress. She’ll wear her new dresses in the summer. Maybe I can still get her some sleepwear too. For my parents, I could get an Oiva teapot and matching cups with the Räsymatto pattern.
The Kissamekko dress designed by Marjut Rahkola is especially clever. A dress with pointed cat ears is noth-ing but impressive! I’ve always liked children’s clothes that are fun and comfortable. I also choose gifts for grownups based on mood and posi-tive feelings. I look for merry patterns and joyous colours, which I balance with simple, black-and-white items. In my childhood, my family would get together to drink tea in the evening. These memories inspired me to get the Oiva teapot and cups. I call it a warm sip of nostalgia.
I’ve already bought myself both colour options from Marimekko’s new knitwear range for men. I wish Noora Niinikoski will continue to design new items for the range.

HAUKI CARD
Wrapped in gifts and greetingsWhat makes a Christmas gift special? Gift wrapping of course! To get started, you need wrapping paper, stickers, ribbon and gift notes, on which you can compose handwritten greetings. Each of these items – except your own handwriting style – is available in a Marimekko shop, where, if you so wish, the staff will also gift wrap your present for you. Now you just have to write a heartfelt greeting.

Time to dress upThe dress is the queen of all evening wear – formal or not so formal. So it makes sense to have a few in your closet – wild & adventurous, classically discreet, colourfully brilliant or just fl oral all round. Best of all, you have something to choose from when it’s time to celebrate...
