The Launch of ROLSER and Eri Shimatsuka's Collaboration
On June 26, 2026, shoppers will be delighted to see a fresh release from ROLSER, a renowned shopping cart brand from Spain, featuring the creative designs of Finnish textile designer Eri Shimatsuka. This collaboration is a celebration of both ROLSER's long-standing history and Shimatsuka's unique artistic vision.
A Brief History of ROLSER
Founded in 1966, ROLSER has built a solid reputation over its 60 years of operation, showcasing an impeccable blend of quality and design. The brand stands out by producing its carts entirely in-house, using advanced aluminum bending techniques along with expert sewing capabilities. This careful production fosters a product line that is extensively appreciated across Europe and beyond.
Introducing Eri Shimatsuka
Eri Shimatsuka has made a name for herself since moving to Helsinki in 2007, where she honed her textile design skills at Aalto University. After a stint at Marimekko's art studio, she became an independent designer in 2014, collaborating with various brands like Marimekko, Samuji, and Kippis. Her latest work for ROLSER draws inspiration from her Finnish surroundings, beautifully intertwining nature and cultural nostalgia into vibrant designs.
The Collection's Unique Designs
The collaboration introduces four distinctive patterns, each reflecting a different aspect of life in Finland:
1. ERI FISH
This design, priced at ¥17,850 (tax included), celebrates Finland's rich aquatic life, featuring various fish swimming freely. Inspired by the nation's fishing culture, where both summer boat fishing and winter ice fishing are cherished pastimes, the design captures the essence of Finland's natural charm.
2. ERI BERRY
Also priced at ¥17,850 (tax included), this pattern evokes fond memories of berry picking in Finland's lush forests during summer. Rooted in family traditions, it depicts blueberries and wildflowers, symbolizing the joy of spending quality time in nature and the simple pleasures of life.
3. ERI BRANCH
At ¥17,850 (tax included), this design illustrates the beauty of unexpected patterns found in nature. It portrays the rhythmic shadows of trees and the arrangements of flowers along hiking paths, reminding us of the hidden elegance within natural scenes that often goes unnoticed.
4. ERI GARDEN
Finally, priced at ¥17,850 (tax included), this design showcases the resilient flowers that bloom during Finland's brief summer. Each flower, while humble, radiates strength and beauty, reflecting the vibrancy of nature and the deep-seated connections we forge with it.
