Moomin

Many stories and their images have been given the title of classic, and few are so instantly recognisable as the artwork of The Moomins. Starting their story in 1945, the Swedish Mumintrolls have gathered something of a cult following thanks to their timeless appeal to kids and adults alike.

Official Moomin-branded merchandise is available now from Pussy Home Boutique, including a range of stylish bags and luggage. Shown above are the day bag and weekend bag, perfectly practical and adorned with scenes of the Moomins and all their friends.

The bags start from £37.50, with accessories and trinkets from under £5 each.

The neutral grey shade lends a luxurious feeling, while being equally practical. With a leather bow and unstructured shape this bag can be matched with either an eighties or sixties look, with equally effective results.

Get it online from Net-a-Porter now for £235, made from 100% soft leather fabric.
