📌 TL;DR
・Launch: Marimekko’s 75th Anniversary collection went on early presale via Rakuten Fashion on 4 September 2026 at 10:00 (Japan time), with the full range launching on 14 September. For now it’s sold only through Rakuten Japan and the official brandavenue store.
・6 Japan-exclusive must-haves: the Nyytti and Vankka anniversary totes, the 75th Anniversary mini presale tote, two colourways of the Vankka 75th Anniversary tote (colour-block and pink Unikko), and the 75th Anniversary square plate — each with design highlights and a reference price in JPY and MYR.
・Buy&Ship’s double promo runs alongside it: a ¥500-off-¥5,000 coupon (first 2,500 orders, up to 4 uses per member, valid through September) + an unconditional RM4 shipping discount on any Rakuten Japan (incl. brandavenue) order declared between 4–20 September — Marimekko included.
・Not sold outside Japan yet: every piece here is Japan-exclusive, and the official store doesn’t ship to Malaysia. You’ll need to ship to Buy&Ship’s Japan warehouse first and forward it on — the 3-step guide is at the end of this article.

What Is Marimekko’s 75th Anniversary? 3 Things to Know
Marimekko is Finland’s beloved design icon, famous worldwide for its classic Unikko poppy print. To mark its 75th anniversary this year, the brand is launching a Japan-exclusive commemorative collection, choosing to debut it first via Rakuten Fashion on Rakuten Japan — it won’t launch anywhere else at the same time. Here are 3 things worth knowing:
- Two-phase launch: select pieces went on early presale via Rakuten Fashion on 4 September 2026 at 10:00, with the full collection following on 14 September — early birds get first pick.
- Prints cross over from classic collections: the anniversary collection draws heavily on the Unikko poppy and Vihkiruusu motifs, combining several popular prints into single patchwork designs — a technique the brand often uses for its anniversary editions.
- Japan-exclusive, no global release: the collection is sold only on Rakuten Japan — no other market’s official site or stores carry the same pieces. It’s an exclusive project from Marimekko’s official Rakuten Japan store.
Editor’s Picks: 6 Must-Have Japan-Exclusive Items
1. Nyytti Anniversary Patchwork Tote (Japan Exclusive)
An off-white and black colour-block patchwork design in 100% cotton that’s soft against the skin and built to last. At 20×21×9cm, it’s just the right size for a wallet, phone and other everyday essentials — perfect as a secondary bag for daily errands or travel. A must for any Marimekko fan.
Rakuten Japan price: RM407 (JPY15,400)
2. Vankka Anniversary Large Tote (Japan Exclusive)
Combines 4 popular prints into a single design, in an off-white, blue and red colour-block mix, made from 79% cotton / 21% linen for a breathable, textured feel. At 42.5×41cm, the large capacity suits daily commutes, grocery runs, or even short trips.
Rakuten Japan price: RM348 (JPY13,200)
3. 75th Anniversary Mini Tote (Rakuten Fashion Presale Edition)
One of the presale pieces that launched on Rakuten Fashion on 4 September, with a playful mix of large and small motifs. At a compact 22×17×10cm, it fits inside a larger bag without taking up much space — ideal for short outings or as a secondary bag.

Where to Buy: What You Need to Know
Since Marimekko’s 75th Anniversary collection is a Japan-exclusive project sold only through the official brandavenue store on Rakuten Japan, the seller doesn’t ship directly to Malaysia — orders can only be shipped to an address inside Japan. To bring these pieces home to Malaysia, you’ll need to ship them to an overseas forwarding warehouse first, then have a forwarder send them on — which is exactly where Buy&Ship’s Japan forwarding service comes in.
