I’ve long admired Marimekko, but not its prices. As both a fan (see my Strategist Brain from today) and the Strategist’s deals editor, I’m always on the lookout for the brand to go on sale. And yesterday, I stumbled upon a cache of deeply discounted home décor, bedding, and more at Gilt and Rue La La. For those who are unfamiliar, the sites are kind of like a cross between the RealReal and the Outnet. Both Gilt and Rue are owned by the same company, so most of the deals below are available on both sites, but I did find a handful of throw-pillow covers and hand towels that are only available on Rue La La. After digging through over 200 items on each site, I present to you my top 20.
Note that you do have to create an account (or sign in to an existing one) to check out at either retailer, but in my opinion, the savings are well worth it.
Home décor

This is the item that first caught my eye and led me on the hunt for more Marimekko on sale. It’s filled with recycled polyester, so you don’t have to worry about buying an insert, too.

But if you do have some pillow inserts that need decorating, there are plenty of pillow covers to be found. The stripes on this cotton-and-linen one look like brushstrokes.

This cheerful number is a bit pricier because it’s made entirely from wool.

Here’s a candle that smells like birch, bark, flowers, and green leaves. When you’re done, you’ll be left with an Oiva cup and cork lid (or coaster).

Here’s a handsome leather cosmetics case that’s now nearly $100 off. I think it would also work well as a jewelry organizer.
Kitchen

The sweetest cups for coffee, juice, or tea are now just $12.50 apiece.

I also really love these textured glasses. Apparently, Marimekko’s glassware is all blown by hand.

Bath

Aside from pillow covers, the best deals are on towels. Here’s a pastel-pink hand towel in Marimekko’s iconic Räsymatto pattern …

I also found a matching pair of hand and bath towels in an eye-popping pink-and-red combo.

Bedding

The bedding section is a little strange. I searched across the internet and discovered that the original price for these sheets should be $100, not $167 as listed; but at 20 percent off, I still approve of this deal.

And I found this organic-cotton set for even cheaper at Amazon when you apply the on-site coupon.

Amazon is not listing the original price of this bold orange duvet set for some reason, but other sites say it’s $417, making it 60 percent off at Amazon and 56 percent off at Gilt.

This duvet set is about the same price, if you’d prefer something more neutral (but never boring).
Fashion

Stock is extremely slim for most apparel, so if you’d like to nab one of Marimekko’s classic striped tees in your size, do it quick.

Both of these cute little leather shoulder bags are $300 off.
