Rauma is famous for its laces. In Pits Priia, we discover the history of lace but also of bobbin winding, mentioned since 1740 in the town of Rauma. Here, the first lace makers were men, as the know-how was imported by the town's sailors. One of the best shops in this field is certainly the Pits-Priia, specialized in the manufacture of Rauma lace, where you can still see the lacemakers at work. Not to be missed: the Lace Festival in July.

Marimekko made its name fifty years ago with its colourful poppy fabric, unikko. Despite what people think, its founder is not a stylist but a businesswoman; Marimekko is therefore the brand of several designers associated around the same idea. Since the little dresses of the beginning (hence the name "Mari's dress"), the brand has also made a name for itself in the field of Nordic-style interior design. A small, high-quality label that has come a long way worldwide.
