The beloved black handbag that Moominmamma always carries with her has been faithfully reproduced as the fifth collaboration item between the Moomin series and Yokohama Motomachi original bag brand Kitamura. This special handbag will go on sale on August 5, 2026.
The Moomin series was created by Finnish author and artist Tove Jansson, first published in 1945. It has been told through novels, comics, and picture books, and has inspired numerous anime, character goods, theme parks, and shops. The series is beloved by a wide range of fans not only worldwide but also in Japan.
Beyond the many characters such as the Moomin family, Snufkin, Little My, and the Hattifatteners, the series has recently gained high popularity among adults thanks to its artistic Nordic design goods and its philosophical, deeply literary qualities.
The fifth collaboration item is a special handbag that faithfully recreates the black handbag Moominmamma always carries. Based on a design that was well received last year, it has been further improved for usability while retaining its classical beauty, resulting in a friendly appearance that complements everyday outfits.
The bag features glossy, high-quality cowhide leather, with the characteristic mark embroidered on it. The clasp is wrapped in leather of the same color. The design is not too assertive, blending beautifully with a variety of styles.
Additionally, a cowhide leather charm depicting Moominmamma hugging Moomin is included. The bag also comes with bottom studs for convenient placement on flat surfaces.
This item is priced at 58,000 yen each. It will be available at the MOOMIN SHOP Rakuten Market store, the Kitamura Motomachi main store, and the Kitamura online shop.
