Marimekko and Blue Bottle Coffee are set to launch their highly anticipated second collaboration, featuring a range of stylish coffee-related merchandise, on April 25, 2025. This collection will include eight unique items, such as mugs, tumblers, and tote bags, all adorned with the iconic Unikko pattern, a signature design of Marimekko.
The collaboration follows the success of their first partnership in June 2024, which celebrated the 60th anniversary of the Unikko design. The initial collaboration garnered significant attention and popularity, paving the way for this new venture.
From April 25 to May 16, 2025, customers can enjoy a special Marimekko Latte at Blue Bottle Coffee's Aoyama and Fukuoka Tenjin cafes. This limited-time drink is inspired by the Finnish cinnamon roll known as Korvapuusti and features a blend of carefully crafted espresso, steamed milk, and a unique vanilla-honey cinnamon syrup, topped with orange peel. The cafes will be decorated with the Unikko pattern, creating an immersive experience for visitors.
The collaboration items will be available at Blue Bottle Coffee locations nationwide and through their official online store, with some exceptions. The Unikko mug will retail for 6,050 yen, the tumbler for 6,600 yen, and the tote bag for 7,700 yen. Other items include an espresso cup and saucer for 6,600 yen, a limited edition craft instant espresso jar for 4,860 yen, a coffee spoon for 2,750 yen, an apron for 9,900 yen, and pins for 3,850 yen.
Notably, some items will be available through a lottery system on the official online store, with details to be announced on April 16, 2025. Customers will need to register as members of the Blue Bottle Coffee online store to participate in the lottery.
In-store, customers will face a purchase limit of three items per person at Blue Bottle Coffee cafes, ensuring that as many fans as possible can enjoy these exclusive products. During peak times, the cafes may distribute tickets to manage customer flow.
The collaboration is not just about products; it celebrates the shared values of craftsmanship and artistry that both brands embody. Simone Hodges, Chief Brand Officer and Experience Officer of Blue Bottle Coffee, stated, "Our brands both believe that when approached with care, everyday habits can become special. By harmonizing Marimekko's bold and timeless designs with our commitment to high-quality coffee, we create a collaboration that reflects Finnish coffee culture through flavor, delightful habits, and refined design."
This partnership aims to elevate the coffee-drinking experience, emphasizing the importance of quality and craftsmanship over speed and convenience. The Unikko pattern will also be featured in the cafe's decor, inviting guests to enjoy their coffee in a beautifully designed environment.
As the launch date approaches, fans of Marimekko and Blue Bottle Coffee alike are encouraged to act quickly, as these limited-edition items are expected to sell out fast. Whether you're a coffee lover or a design enthusiast, this collaboration offers a unique opportunity to enjoy high-quality products that celebrate both the art of coffee and Finnish design.
Mark your calendars for April 25, 2025, and prepare to indulge in the vibrant world of Marimekko and Blue Bottle Coffee!
