The partnership between Finnish textile and clothing design house Marimekko and shoe purveyors Converse is now online. The "Converse ♥ Marimekko" collaboration brings us Converse classics pepped up with the bright and boldly abstract Marimekko fabrics. In the video above Marimekko's design manager, Noora Niiininoski, explains that the brands are a natural fit for each other because they both have a timeless style. The new spring line ranges in price from $75 to $85. Marimekko seems to have an infinity for American brands, it also has a long-standing deal with Crate and Barrel.
