😍 Mad about Moomins? You Will Be... 😍
2020 marks the 75th anniversary of the publication of Tove Jansson's first Moomin graphic novel back in 1945 so we're celebrating the best way we know how â with exciting new Moomin merchandise of course!
As well as brand new and exclusive tshirts and hoodies, we've also added these adorable Moomin homewares adorned with the beloved characters and design elements plucked straight from the Scandi world of Moominvalley.
Moomin' Marvellous! xoxo
As with any great book, it all starts with the creator - and this is no exception! The creator of The Moomins, Tove Jansson - a swedish artist, illustrator, a comic geek started something amazing in 1945 - which to this day is still very much in our hearts! Nowadays, Tove Jansson is the most translated Finnish author of all time; her works can be read in over 30 languages. As well as Moomins, she wrote about other subjects, too, concentrating more and more on adult books in her later years.
Over the 50(ish) years of Moomin-ness - it has definitely earned its place in the golden library, that's for sure! 9 books were released...picture books, comic strips and TV adaptations....impressive huh? Oh, they also have their very own theme park, but they don't like to brag! Moomin World sounds like the kinda place miserable people go to become happy. The park's aim is to implement Moomin philosophy: family unity, non-violence, friendliness, environmental awareness, safety and adventure, as well as values promoting parenting. We recently discovered Moomin World, and can definitely say - if we ever joined a cult...then it would be one full of awesome Moomins.
Whilst dreaming of a land far, far away (Finland) we can only imagine such awesomeness under one 'roof', however - we like to think TruffleTowers has a lot to offer too. From Moomins t-shirts, to Moomin gifts, we really do have something for everyone.
