"Hi, Elisabeth from Fine Little Day here again. As said in my last post - I'm a fan of candy, especially eye candy candy. This post is a little tribute to another candy favorite of mine - Marianne.
Marianne is a popular pretty sweetie from Fazer in Sweden. A mint caramel filled with chocolate. Not only good tasting, but great wrapped as well. Red and white stripes, how good can it be? Simple and Pretty. (Available in blue and white stripes as well). It was finnish Artist Aimo Vuorinen who was the one who came up with the brilliant stripes idea and the name "Marianne" for the Finnish–based company.
The papers looks so nice that you almost don't want to throw them away when you have eaten the sweet. Make Design didin't, they sewed a toiletry bag out of them. (Available at Kirpputori).
Last year the talanted illustrator Sanna Annukka did a new suit for the Marianne bag. Nice, don't you think. Here, this is what the bag looked like further
back, nice that too!"

I think the wallet is from http://www.makeedesign.fi/
thanks for the great blog. I love the Marianne design and as I live in Helsinki I see it everywhere :)
Although, I found a little mistake. The Marianne toiletry bag is not made by kirpputori. They are just a retailer. They are made by makeedesign. Actually it's a friend of mine and her mom who make these. http://www.makeedesign.fi/
Lovely Greetings
Karin
Nice posting anyway!
