Bed linen, towels, a tote bag, and a 0.4-litre mug — Moomin Arabia starts 2024 with a range of products with the all-time favorite ‘Love’ illustration showing scenes from Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll’s affectionate relationship. Available starting January 15, the collection arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day.
For all sweethearts and besties: Bed linen, towels, a tote bag, and a mug
The baby pink Love collection, including a bed set, a bath towel, a hand towel, a kitchen towel, a canvas tote bag, and a 0.4-litre mug, is a complete set of Valentine’s Day gift ideas.
The heartwarming ‘Love’ motifs reflect Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll’s relationship and fit perfectly to Valentine’s Day. Even though the two sweethearts don’t always agree on things and sometimes have crushes on others, their adventures always end well.
Among other sales points, the Love items can be now purchased from Moomin Arabia’s new webshop at moominarabia.com which also offers customers a gift-wrapping service.
A familiar illustration from the 90’s
The motifs in the Love Collection are based on three scenes from Tove and Lars Jansson’s Moomin comics. The warm hug with the sun in the background is from Moomin and the Martians (1957), and Moomin Valley Turns Jungle (1956), their encounter on a path is from Snorkmaiden Goes Rococo (1958), and the painting scene from Moomin Builds a House (1956).

They are already familiar to many from an all-time favorite Moomin mug from 1996 that is also the only 0.3-litre mug from the 1990s still in production. The new 0.4-litre mug features the same illustrations as the 0.3-litre one but in a different order. With the painting scene in the middle, A side shows the encounter, and B side the hug.
So far, the larger mug has only been available exclusively from selected stores in Finland and Norway since it was launched last year.
Celebrating love on any occasion
Inspired by the Moomins’ positive and open-minded take on life found in Tove Jansson’s Moomin stories, Moomin Arabia’s concept of Valentine’s Day and love extends beyond romance and companionship.
‘Bed linen is a perfect gift to a partner and a mug to a crush, but just as lovely for showing appreciation for a friend or a family member or feeling pride in oneself. The Love collection is about affection and connection throughout the year—on Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, a bestie’s birthday, or any chosen occasion and for a good cause,’ says Mirka Paasikangas, Global PR and Communications Manager for Moomin by Arabia.
All Love items will become available from 15 January 2024 in the official moomin.com shop, Moomin Arabia’s webshop moominarabia.com, Iittala Stores and web store iittala.com, as well as widely from retailers.
