minä perhonenfelice (Blue)A5 Cousin Size

  • 2027 New

This is a cover from minä perhonen, a brand that creates timeless, all-original garment textiles that are specially dyed, embroidered, and woven to recreate hand-drawn designs.



Birds and butterflies are nestled alongside flowers in this design named “felice,” which depicts living beings sharing joy with one another, as if each creature’s existence is a celebration of life itself. The textile is captivating in its sense of depth, with the folksy touch of woodblock printing and the interplay of light and shadow created by the embroidery.



The fabric is a soft cotton-wool blend embroidered with blue thread, giving it a pleasing texture you can feel beneath your fingertips.



The “butterfly-stopper” pen holders and the inner lining are both light blue. The cover also comes with two bookmarks, which have small embroidered balls strung on them like beads.



This is a cover that will quietly accompany you through each precious day.









Also available is a small tote bag made with the same textile.

About minä perhonen

minä perhonen is a brand created by designer Akira Minagawa.

First founded in 1995 under the name minä, and renamed “minä perhonen” in 2003. In Finnish, “minä” means “I,” and “perhonen” means “butterfly,” expressing Minagawa’s hopes to create designs as light-hearted and beautiful as a butterfly’s flapping wings.
