Mika Ihamuotila, President and CEO:                                             

“Market conditions remained challenging in the second quarter of 2009. The      
Group's net sales decreased and earnings weakened significantly during the      
period under review. The sharp decline in consumer demand reduced Marimekko's   
sales both in Finland and abroad. In addition to the fall in sales, the         
difference in relation to the comparison period was increased by revenues from  
individual promotions and one-off income from sales of licensed products        
recognised in the corresponding period in 2008.                                 

The weaker demand particularly affected sales to domestic and foreign retailers.
The sales from Marimekko's own retail shops were at the level of the comparison 
period. Japan was a positive exception in the market trend, showing extremely   
high growth, boosted by new shops. Sales declined in other key export markets   
and in Finland.                                                                 

The outlook is still uncertain. The situation varies in different markets, but  
there are no clear signs of improvement on the horizon so far. However, we will 
continue investing in product development and internationalisation. During the  
current year, we have reviewed our cost structure and taken steps for           
improvement. We will continue our actions aimed at lowering fixed costs to      
ensure the company's profitability and steady business development.”

Marimekko's interim report for the January-September period of 2009 will be

Helsinki Ltd.                                                                   


MARIMEKKO CORPORATION'S INTERIM REPORT, 1 JANUARY - 30 JUNE 2009                

NET SALES                                                                       

April-June                                                                      
In the April-June period of 2009, the Marimekko Group's net sales decreased by  
13.7% to EUR 15,999 thousand (EUR 18,539 thousand). In Finland, net sales fell  
by 17.1% to EUR 11,116 thousand (EUR 13,415 thousand). Exports and income from  
international operations fell by 4.7%, totalling EUR 4,883 thousand (EUR 5,124  
thousand).                                                                      

January-June                                                                    
In the January-June period of 2009, the Marimekko Group's net sales fell by     
13.1% to EUR 32,262 thousand (EUR 37,133 thousand). Net sales in Finland        
decreased by 14.2% to EUR 21,990 thousand (EUR 25,637 thousand). Exports and    
income from international operations fell by 10.6%, totalling EUR 10,272        
thousand (EUR 11,496 thousand). Exports and income from international operations
accounted for 31.8% (31.0%) 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 in relation to the comparison period was also increased by revenues  
from individual promotions and one-off income from sales of licensed products in
the corresponding period of the previous year.                                  

The breakdown of the Group's net sales by product line was as follows: clothing 
42.0%; interior decoration 40.1%; and bags 17.9%. Net sales by market area were:
Finland 68.2%; the other Nordic countries 10.2%; the rest of Europe 7.6%; North 
America 4.8%; and other countries (Japan and other regions outside Europe and   
North America) 9.2%.                                                            

During the January-June period of 2009, the sales from Marimekko's own retail   
shops in Finland increased by 0.8% (0.7%). Sales to retailers in Finland        
decreased by 22.3% (-0.8%). The sharp decrease in sales from the comparison     
period was partly due to significant one-off orders for promotions in the first 
quarter of 2008.                                                                

MARKET SITUATION                                                                

The downtrend in the economy during the first half of 2009 was more severe than 
expected. The situation in Finland is still bleak. The economic outlook for the 
second half of the year is slightly brighter, but no signs of recovery are      
visible as yet. During the remainder of the year, the downtrend in production   
and sales is expected to continue in most sectors, and employment is expected to
decline considerably. The global market trend indicators have continued to rise,
and a more optimistic attitude has spread since the spring. However, the world  
economy is estimated to decrease significantly during the current year.         
(Confederation of Finnish Industries EK: Business Tendency Survey, August 2009).

The economic conditions for the textile and clothing industry are very bleak,   
and no rapid improvement is expected. The conditions for trade have weakened    
throughout the current year, and the downtrend is estimated to continue during  
the remainder of the year. (Confederation of Finnish Industries EK: Business    
Tendency Survey, August 2009). In the January-June period of 2009, the Finnish  
retail trade decreased by 3.4% (Statistics Finland: Retail trade quick estimate,
June 2009). Retail sales of clothing (excluding sportswear) decreased by 2.1%   
(Textile and Fashion Industries TMA). Sales of wWomenswear fell by 1.2%, sales  
of menswear by 5.2%, and sales of childrenswear by 0.9%. Sales of bags declined 
by 7.1% and sales of home textiles by 11.3%. In the January-May period of 2009, 
exports of clothing (SITC 84) fell by 19% and imports by 6%; exports of textiles
(SITC 65) decreased by 26% and imports by 28% (National Board of Customs,       
monthly review, May 2009).                                                      

REVIEWS BY BUSINESS UNIT                                                        

Clothing                                                                        
In the January-June period of 2009, net sales of clothing declined by 11.7% to  
EUR 13,560 thousand (EUR 15,351 thousand). In Finland and the market area       
referred to as “the rest of Europe”, sales decreased slightly. In North America 
and the market area referred to as “the other Nordic countries”, sales fell     
significantly. In contrast, extremely vigorous growth continued in Japan.       
Exports and income from international operations accounted for 24.7% of net     
sales of clothing.                                                              

Interior decoration                                                             
Net sales of interior decoration products decreased by 13.5% to EUR 12,938      
thousand (EUR 14,965 thousand). In Japan, strong growth continued. In North     
America and the market area referred to as "the rest of Europe”, sales declined 
slightly. Sales in Finland and the other Nordic countries continued to decrease 
substantially. Exports and income from international operations accounted for   
37.1% of net sales of interior decoration products.                             

Bags                                                                            
Net sales of bags decreased by 15.4% to EUR 5,764 thousand (EUR 6,817 thousand).
In Japan, sales 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 decreased considerably. Exports and income from international       
operations accounted for 36.8% of net sales of bags.                            

Business-to-business sales                                                      
Business-to-business sales declined by 58.0%. The decrease was mainly due to    
significant one-off orders for promotions recognised in the corresponding period
in 2008. The continuing downtrend in the economy during the current year has    
also significantly reduced purchases by corporate clients.                      

Exports and international operations                                            
Uncertainty about economic conditions continued, and consumer demand declined   
further in almost all export markets. During the January-June period of 2009,   
Marimekko's exports and income from international operations decreased by 10.6%,
totalling EUR 10,272 thousand (EUR 11,496 thousand). In Japan, the extremely    
positive trend continued and sales growth was significantly higher than         
expected. Sales increased slightly in the market area referred to as “the rest  
of Europe”. In other export markets, sales declined. Japan became the largest   
export country during the review period, the other major countries for exports  
being Sweden, the United States, Denmark and Norway.                            

In the market area referred to as “the other Nordic countries”, sales in all    
product lines decreased substantially. Net sales fell to EUR 3,288 thousand,    
which was 37.3% less than the previous year (EUR 5,248 thousand). In addition to
a decrease in sales volumes, the weakening in the value of the Swedish krona    
(approx. 20%) as well as one-off income from licensed products recognised in the
comparison period contributed to the fall in net sales.                         

In the market area referred to as “the rest of Europe”, net sales increased by  
0.7% to EUR 2,469 thousand (EUR 2,451 thousand). Sales of bags continued to grow
well; sales of clothing and interior decoration products decreased slightly.    

In North America, net sales fell by 18.3% to EUR 1,563 thousand (EUR 1,913      
thousand). Sales of clothing and bags declined significantly, while sales of    
interior decoration products fell only slightly.                                

In the market area referred to as "other countries", net sales rose from the    
comparison period by 56.7%, totalling EUR 2,952 thousand (EUR 1,884 thousand).  
This growth was entirely generated in Japan, where sales of all product lines   
rose extremely vigorously. The growth was attributable to both increased sales  
in existing concept shops and the opening of three new stores during the first  
quarter of the year. At the end of June 2009, there were a total of eighteen    
Marimekko concept shops and shop-in-shops in Japan.                             

Licensing                                                                       
Royalty earnings from sales of licensed products decreased considerably during  
the period. The difference compared to the previous year was entirely due to    
one-off income from licensing cooperation with H & M Hennes & Mauritz AB        
recognised in the second quarter of 2008. In the review period, royalty earnings
in the United States grew extremely vigorously; a slight increase was seen in   
Finland.                                                                        

Production and sourcing                                                         
During the January-June period of 2009, the production volume of the Herttoniemi
textile printing factory decreased by 28%. This was mostly due to the reduction 
of inventories and collections. The old printing machine in the Herttoniemi     
factory was taken out of use in June. Production continues with the printing    
machine acquired in 2004. Production volumes at the Kitee and Sulkava factories 
remained 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 Group's own factories.                                       

EARNINGS                                                                        

April-June                                                                      
In the April-June period of 2009, the Group's operating profit fell by 58.4% on 
the comparison period, amounting to EUR 1,058 thousand (EUR 2,540 thousand).    
Earnings per share were EUR 0.10 (EUR 0.23). In addition to a decline in sales, 
the difference in relation to the comparison period was attributable to revenues
from individual promotions and significant one-off income from sales of licensed
products in the corresponding period of 2008.                                   

January-June                                                                    
In the January-June period of 2009, the Group's operating profit declined by    
76.2% to EUR 1,037 thousand (EUR 4,364 thousand). Operating profit as a         
percentage of net sales amounted to 3.2% (11.8%). Marketing expenses for the    
period totalled EUR 1,724 thousand (EUR 1,667 thousand), representing 5.3%      
(4.5%) of net sales.                                                            

The Group's depreciation amounted to EUR 697 thousand (EUR 655 thousand),

RISK MANAGEMENT AND MAJOR RISKS

monitoring and especially cost management have been further enhanced.

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 half of 2009, Marimekko's net sales decreased and profit fell      
considerably due to a sharp decline in demand caused by the economic recession. 
The difficult market situation continues and there are not yet any signs of     
recovery.  The outlook for the Finnish economy is particularly bleak. The       
downtrend in trade is expected to continue during the latter half of the year.  
In uncertain market conditions, it is extremely difficult to estimate the sales 
trend. According to the company's current knowledge, deliveries during the      
remainder of the year will include some one-off items that improve net sales and
earnings. However, the value of these items will be smaller than in 2008. In the
last quarter of 2009, the decline in sales compared to the previous year is     
expected to slow down, as sales already fell considerably both in Finland and   
abroad in the corresponding period of 2008. The full-year estimate for 2009 is  
unchanged: net sales are forecast to decrease by about 10% from the year 2008   
and operating result is expected to decline distinctly.                         

During 2009, the Marimekko Group's earnings trend has declined considerably due 
to the difficult market conditions. The company has reviewed its cost structure 
and taken steps to adjust costs to correspond to the current market conditions. 
The actions aimed at savings in fixed costs will be continued to ensure the     
company's profitability and steady business development.
