The Merivirta linen trousers have a relaxed fit and long, straight trouser legs, and they feature the Piccolo pattern, which is printed in Helsinki. The trousers have an elastic waistband and side seam pockets.

In 1953, the very year she joined Marimekko, Vuokko Eskolin-Nurmesniemi created Piccolo, a striped fabric pattern painted with vivid brushstrokes. Three years later, the Jokapoika (every boy) shirt made from the fabric appeared in stores and the streets – for good, it seems.
