                             13 May 2009 at 9 a.m.                              

MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009               

In the January-March period of 2009, the Marimekko Group's net sales fell by 13%
to EUR 16.3 million (EUR 18.6 million). Operating result decreased to EUR -0.02 
million (EUR 1.8 million). Profit after taxes for the financial period was EUR  
0.01 million (EUR 1.4 million) and earnings per share were EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.17). 
The earlier estimate for the financial year 2009 has been reduced. According to 
the current estimate, the Marimekko Group's net sales are forecast to decrease  
in 2009 by about 10% from the year 2008 and operating result is expected to     
decline distinctly.

Mika Ihamuotila, President and CEO:                                             

“The first quarter of the year 2009 was extremely challenging for Marimekko due 
to the difficult market situation. The Group's net sales declined and profit    
fell significantly. The sharp decline in consumer demand was reflected in sales 
both in Finland and abroad. The fall was particularly strong in sales to        
domestic and foreign retailers. Also, there were no one-off items similar to    
those recognised during the corresponding period of the previous year. In       
Marimekko-owned retail shops, we managed to increase our sales even more than   
expected due to various marketing actions. Strong growth also continued in our  
important export area, Japan, where sales were boosted by the opening of new    
concept stores.                                                                 

In addition to a considerable decline in sales, increased personnel expenses and
other operating expenses, most of which were higher-than-usual marketing costs  
for new collections, had a negative impact on earnings for the period.          

The outlook continues to be extremely uncertain since there are no clear signs  
of improvement in market conditions on the horizon. During this year, we will   
review the company's cost structure and improve the efficiency of our           
operations. Despite the difficult market situation, Marimekko will continue     
investing in product development and internationalisation.”

Helsinki Ltd.                                                                   


MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 31 MARCH 2009               

NET SALES                                                                       

In the January-March period of 2009, the Marimekko Group's net sales decreased  
by 12.5% to EUR 16,263 thousand (EUR 18,594 thousand). Net sales in Finland fell
by 11.0% to EUR 10,874 thousand (EUR 12,222 thousand). Exports and income from  
international operations decreased by 15.4% and totalled EUR 5,389 thousand (EUR
6,372 thousand). Exports and income from international operations accounted for 
33.1% (34.3%) of the Group's net sales. The fall in net sales was largely due to
a slowdown in demand caused by weak market conditions. Wholesale sales both in  
Finland and abroad were especially affected by the slowdown. The difference     
compared to the previous year was also increased by one-off orders for          
promotions during the corresponding period of 2008.                             

The breakdown of the Group's net sales by product line was as follows: clothing 
43.5%; interior decoration 38.1%; and bags 18.4%. Net sales by market area were:
Finland, 66.9%; the other Nordic countries, 10.4%; the rest of Europe, 8.0%;    
North America, 4.4%; and other countries (Japan and other regions outside Europe
and North America), 10.3%.                                                      

In the January-March period of 2009, the sales from Marimekko's own retail shops
increased by 8.9% (-3.8%). Sales to retailers in Finland decreased by 24.9%     
(+5.5%). The strong decline in sales from the comparison period was partly due  
to significant one-off orders for promotions recognised in the first quarter of 
2008.                                                                           

MARKET SITUATION                                                                

In the first quarter of 2009, the economic recession deepened and market demand 
fell considerably. The value of retail sales in Finland decreased by 3.6% from  
the corresponding period in 2008 (Statistics Finland: Retail trade quick        
estimate, March 2009). Retail sales of clothing (excluding sportswear) declined 
by 0.9% (Textile and Fashion Industries TMA). Sales of womenswear were at the   
level of the comparison period, sales of menswear decreased by 4.1%, and sales  
of childrenswear increased by 0.1%. Sales of bags declined by 0.4%. In the      
January-February period of 2009, exports of clothing (SITC 84) decreased by 16%,
while imports remained at the previous year's level. Exports of textiles (SITC  
65) fell by 32%; imports increased by 1%. (National Board of Customs, monthly   
review, February 2009).                                                         

According to Statistics Finland, consumer confidence in the economy has         
recovered somewhat. Expectations regarding the Finnish economy and employment in
particular remain weak but confidence in personal finances and saving           
opportunities has improved slightly (Statistics Finland: Consumer Barometer,    
April 2009).                                                                    

REVIEWS BY BUSINESS UNIT                                                        

Clothing                                                                        
In the January-March period of 2009, net sales of clothing decreased by 9.7% to 
EUR 7,078 thousand (EUR 7,838 thousand). Sales in Finland declined somewhat.    
Sales abroad fell significantly in all areas except Japan, where strong growth  
continued. The positive trend in Japanese sales was boosted by new concept      
stores. Exports and income from international operations accounted for 29.4% of 
net sales of clothing.                                                          

Interior decoration                                                             
Net sales of interior decoration products decreased by 18.5% to EUR 6,185       
thousand (EUR 7,588 thousand). In Japan, strong growth continued. Sales in other
export countries and Finland fell considerably. Exports and income from         
international operations accounted for 35.2% of net sales of interior decoration
products.                                                                       

Bags                                                                            
Net sales of bags decreased by 5.3% to EUR 3,000 thousand (EUR 3,168 thousand). 
Sales in Japan continued to grow vigorously.  Good growth also continued in the 
market area referred to as “the rest of Europe”. Sales in other export markets  
and Finland declined substantially. Exports and income from international       
operations accounted for 37.6% of the net sales of bags.                        

Business-to-business sales                                                      
Business-to-business sales fell by 40.3%. The decrease was partly due to        
significant one-off orders for promotions recognised in the first quarter of    
2008.                                                                           

Exports and international operations                                            
In the January-March period of 2009, Marimekko's exports and income from        
international operations decreased by 15.4% and totalled EUR 5,389 thousand (EUR
6,372 thousand). In Japan, strong growth continued, while in other countries    
where consumer demand declined sharply, sales fell significantly.               

In the market area referred to as “the other Nordic countries”, sales in all    
product lines decreased. Net sales declined to EUR 1,698 thousand, which was    
36.0% less than the previous year (EUR 2,654 thousand). In addition to a        
decrease in sales volumes, the weakening in the value of the Swedish krona      
contributed to the fall in net sales (approx. 20%).                             

In the market area referred to as “the rest of Europe”, net sales decreased by  
16.6% to EUR 1,302 thousand (EUR 1,562 thousand). Sales of bags continued to    
grow well, while sales of interior decoration products and clothing declined    
considerably.                                                                   

In North America, sales in all product lines decreased sharply. Net sales       
declined by 34.2% to EUR 722 thousand (EUR 1,098 thousand).                     

In the market area referred to as "other countries", net sales rose by 57.6%    
from the comparison period and totalled EUR 1,667 thousand (EUR 1,058 thousand).
The growth was entirely generated in Japan, where sales of all product lines    
increased vigorously. The opening of three new concept stores - one each in     
Niigata, Matsuyama and Kokura - accelerated growth. At the end of the review    
period, there were a total of eighteen Marimekko concept stores and             
shop-in-shops in Japan.                                                         

Licensing                                                                       
Royalty earnings from sales of licensed products grew substantially during the  
period. The increase was strongest in the United States. New licensing contracts
partly contributed to the growth in royalty earnings.                           

Production and sourcing                                                         
In the January-March period of 2009, the production volume of the Herttoniemi   
textile printing factory decreased by 42%. This was mostly due to reduction of  
inventories and collections. At the Kitee and Sulkava factories, the company    
managed to maintain production at the same level as in the corresponding period 
of the previous year. Subcontracting was decreased concerning certain products, 
and production was transferred to the Kitee and Sulkava factories.              

EARNINGS                                                                        

In the January-March period of 2009, the Group's operating result decreased by  
101.2% to EUR -21 thousand (EUR 1,824 thousand). Operating result as a          
percentage of net sales was -0.1% (9.8%). Marketing expenses for the period grew
by 45.5% and totalled EUR 1,104 thousand (EUR 759 thousand), representing 6.8%  
(4.1%) of the Group's net sales.                                                

The Group's depreciation amounted to EUR 350 thousand (EUR 392 thousand),       
representing 2.2% (1.8%) of net sales. Net financial income totalled EUR 34     
thousand (EUR 23 thousand), or 0.2% (0.1%) of net sales.                        

Profit for the period after taxes decreased by 99.1% to EUR 13 thousand (EUR    
1,375 thousand), representing 0.1% (7.4%) of net sales. Earnings per share were 
EUR 0.00 (EUR 0.17).                                                            

Earnings for the period were weakened by a considerable decline in sales,       
increased personnel expenses and other operating expenses, a significant part of
which were higher-than-usual marketing costs for new collections launched during
the period. Full-year marketing expenses will remain at the 2008 level.         

INVESTMENTS                                                                     

The Group's gross investments amounted to EUR 188 thousand (EUR 137 thousand),  
representing 1.2% (0.7%) of net sales. The majority of investments were made in 
the refurbishment of shops, as well as in furniture purchases and renovation of 
the Herttoniemi property.                                                       

EQUITY RATIO AND FINANCING                                                      

The equity ratio of the Group was 80.3% at the end of the period (77.7% on 31   
March 2008, 78.7% on 31 December 2008). The ratio of interest-bearing           
liabilities minus financial assets to shareholders' equity (gearing) was -16.8%,
while it was -7.5% at the end of the corresponding period in the previous year  
(-18.8% on 31 December 2008).                                                   

At the end of the period, the Group's financial liabilities amounted to EUR 185 
thousand (EUR 841 thousand). The Group's financial assets at the end of the     
period were EUR 5,478 thousand (EUR 3,163 thousand).                            

SHARES AND SHARE PRICE TREND                                                    

Share capital                                                                   
At the end of the period, the company's fully paid-up share capital, as recorded

totalled 8,040,000.                                                             

Shareholdings                                                                   
According to the book-entry register, Marimekko had 6,526 (5,680) shareholders

Korkeela (Group communications and investor relations), Päivi Lonka (exports and

business-to-business sales, sales development), Niina Nenonen (clothing and     
accessories), Piia Rossi (company-owned retail stores) and Helinä Uotila

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MAJOR RISKS                                                 
The Marimekko Group's risk management is based on the risk management policy    
confirmed by the company's Board of Directors. The policy defines the           
principles, objectives and responsibilities of risk management, as well as the  
organisation and supervision of the risk management process. The Board of       
Directors also monitors the implementation of the Group's risk management. Risk 
reporting is part of the company's regular, continuous business reporting.      
Marimekko's risk management policy and the major risks to the company's business
operations have been detailed in the 2008 Annual Report and Financial           
Statements.                                                                     

The main risks for Marimekko's business are associated with general economic    
development and the consequent increased uncertainty of the operating           
environment. The decline in consumption demand has negatively affected the      
development of sales on all markets and increased uncertainty in the company's  
growth and profit development. In addition, possible economic difficulties      
experienced by customers and cooperation partners may increase the Group's      
economic risks, which are related to customers' liquidity and availability of   
products. During the review period, no significant changes have occurred in     
credit losses or customers' paying behaviour.                                   

Operational risk management emphasises ensuring core competence related to      
business development and product design as well as management of processes      
pertaining to key activities.                                                   

In order to manage the risks, the monitoring of business activities and costs   
has been made more effective.                                                   

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT                                                        

Marimekko's product planning and development costs arise from the design of     
collections. Design costs are recorded in expenses.                             

THE ENVIRONMENT, HEALTH AND SAFETY                                              

Responsibility for the environment and nature is an integral aspect of          
Marimekko's business. In environmental matters, the company's business          
supervision is largely based on legislation and other regulations. The framework
for Marimekko's social responsibility reporting is provided by the G3 guidelines
of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Detailed information on environmental 
issues and their reporting can be found in the 2008 Annual Report.              

MARIMEKKO-OWNED RETAIL SHOP AND SUBSIDIARY IN THE UNITED KINGDOM                
At the end of March 2009, Marimekko established a subsidiary in the UK,         
Marimekko UK Ltd, to administer the operations of the Marimekko store in London.
The store was acquired from Skandium Ltd on 1 April 2009.                       

MAJOR EVENTS AFTER THE CLOSE OF THE REVIEW PERIOD                               

Decisions of the Annual General Meeting                                         
Marimekko Corporation's Annual General Meeting, held on 8 April 2009, adopted   
the company's financial statements for 2008 and discharged the President and    
members of the Board from liability. The Annual General Meeting approved the    
Board of Directors' proposal for a dividend payment of EUR 0.55 per share for   
the 2008 financial year, totalling EUR 4,422,000.00. The dividend payout record 
date was 15 April 2009, and the dividend payout date 22 April 2009.             

The Annual General Meeting confirmed that the company's Board of Directors shall
have five (5) members. Ami Hasan, Mika Ihamuotila, Joakim Karske, Pekka Lundmark
and Tarja Pääkkönen were re-elected to the Board of Directors. The term of      
office for the Board runs until the end of the next Annual General Meeting. At  
its organisation meeting held after the Annual General Meeting, the Board of    
Directors elected Pekka Lundmark as Chairman and Mika Ihamuotila as Vice        
Chairman of the Board.                                                          

The Annual General Meeting re-elected PricewaterhouseCoopers Oy, Authorised     
Public Accountants, as the company's regular auditor, with Kim Karhu, Authorised
Public Accountant, as chief auditor. It was decided that the auditors' fee would
be paid as per invoice.                                                         

Amendment of the Articles of Association                                        
The Annual General Meeting approved the Board of Directors' proposal to amend   
the Articles 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 11, 12 and 13 of Marimekko Corporation's Articles
of Association. The amendments have been detailed in the Notice of the Annual   
General Meeting published on 16 March 2009. The Articles of Association approved
at the Annual General Meeting are appended to the stock exchange release dated 8
April 2009.                                                                     

Flaggings                                                                       
As a result of a transaction made on 8 April 2009, Barclays Capital Securities  
Limited's share of Marimekko Corporation's share capital and voting rights rose 
to 6.09%, or 490,00 shares; and then fell to 0.00%, or 0 shares, as a result of 
a transaction made on 14 April 2009.                                            

OUTLOOK FOR THE REMAINDER OF 2009                                               

Marimekko Corporation operates in a field where economic trends affect its      
business activities. The majority of the Group's net sales come from Finland. In
recent years, however, exports have increasingly been driving Marimekko's net   
sales growth. A significant part of the growth has been attributable to the     
acquisition of new customers and the opening of concept stores. In 2008, the    
Group's earnings and growth in net sales were largely attributable to           
significant individual promotional deliveries in Finland and one-off income from
sales of licensed products.                                                     

In the first quarter of 2009, Marimekko's net sales decreased and profit fell   
considerably due to a sharp decline in demand caused by the economic recession. 
The weak market situation continues and there are not yet any signs of a quick  
recovery. According to the company's current knowledge, there will neither be   
similar significant one-off items to improve net sales and profit in the        
financial year as there were in 2008. For the above reasons, the company's      
previous estimate, according to which the Group's net sales for the 2009        
financial year were expected to decrease by 5-10% and operating profit to       
decline considerably, has been reduced. The company's current estimate, based on
the market outlook, business development in the early part of the year and the  
expense structure of the company, is that the Group's net sales in the financial
year 2009 will decrease by about 10% and the operating result will decline      
distinctly compared with 2008.
