Last week was a long tough week for me at the little orange desk. Illness and home plumbing issues consumed all my free time. I'm pleased to be back and happy to report that the Marimekko+Converse special edition shoe collection is now underway! But...it's a tad disappointing to me. Not only are the prints more subdued and less Marimekko-ish than I expected but the prices are astronomical. $85 for All-Stars? No way! Why couldn't they use a print that reflects the organic, colorful flowers that are iconic to Marimekko, or any organic print in general, or a few of the illustrated line art city scenes? I feel like they went too "graphic/urban" and unfortunately looks like something that's already been done. I'll be waiting to spend my Merimekko money on other things, like the lovely items at the
Crate and Barrel SoHo store (and soon available online.) - l.o.d.
