Marimekko Lapikkaat (boots)
These boots are called Lapikkaat.It is a Finnish word and it means these special kind of leather boots which were earlier seen and used in Lapland by a reindeer herder or they were used by men with a Finnish national costume.The original leather boots are Finnish handwork and made for tough use;the bottom is leather with wooden nails.And the color is always brown.Lapikkaat,the boots which have been familiar in a tradition dressing have now been made their way in fashion.The designer Noora Niittykoski has designed a modern version of Lapikkaat for Marimekko.The old, traditional, and brown boot has become a colorful one:orange,violet,pink and when the stalks are turned up,you will have also some yellow in sight.Boots are made with a genuine spirit of respect for tradition, and they are manufactured in Finland.They are made of reindeer leather which makes them very durable.
