A felt squirrel who writes the brand’s holiday wishlist
Marimekko’s felt squirrel Kurre posts her own holiday wishlist: “The Gratha bowler with the charm. You need the charm.” Then come the mugs.

What they did
Marimekko handed its holiday season to Kurre, a costumed felt squirrel who writes in the first person. Her wishlist post opens “Kurre here. It is now November, so I have prepared my wishlist.
