Australia meets Scandinavia! Aesop and Marimekko collaborate

Mar 13, 2013

Australian skincare brand Aesop will release the "Aesop Sauna Duet," a collaboration with Finland's Marimekko, on April 29th. The set includes a 190mL body scrub and a 190mL body balm, and comes with a special cotton bag featuring Marimekko's Vellamo pattern. It costs ¥7,350 and is available at Aesop stores worldwide, the Aesop online shop, and Marimekko online and online stores. The body scrub contains exfoliating agents that remove dead skin cells and leave skin feeling smooth, as well as bamboo stem extract. The body balm contains vitamin E, which has anti-aging properties; vitamin F and vitamin D, which help maintain healthy skin and body; and provitamin A, which is converted into anti-aging vitamin A in the body; as well as plant extracts that help moisturize and soften the skin. The Verammo pattern, created by Marimekko designer Maija Louekari, is a water pattern inspired by the Kalevala, a lyric poem beloved throughout Finland for centuries. This pattern appears not only on bags but also on bottles. Aesop operates over 60 street-level stores worldwide, primarily in Paris, Tokyo, and New York. Its products use plant-based ingredients and proprietary non-plant-based ingredients. The company is committed to transparency, modesty, and honesty, minimizing packaging and eschewing advertising. It is also involved in various creative activities, such as collaborating with architects and artisans to create new stores and hosting design festivals. Marimekko is a long-established brand founded in 1951. Characterized by unique prints and colors, it offers a wide range of items, including fabrics, furniture, tableware, clothing, and accessories, and operates approximately 90 stores worldwide.
