crate and barrel has had a long partnership with marimekko, and every season i peruse their current line being produced just for cb clientele. last year i heard that they were planning on opening cb marimekko STORES in select cities, one being new york (of course). i immediately put it on my wish list of places to visit.
i finally made my way to new york recently (and really, what took me so long? it's only about 4 hours away, and if you're really really lucky you can get a $2 round trip bus ticket) and one afternoon, while wandering around soho, i found myself standing right in front of crate and barrel with marimekko plastered all over the windows. by found, i mean gps-ed my way there intentionally.
was i excited? you bet i was. walking inside, i realized that the marimekko store was within the crate and barrel store, and was very much like the individual stores you'd find in finland.
so bright and colorful.
little did i know then, they also opened a cb marimekko store in boston, so i did not have to wait until new york. oh well.
