Two worlds built on storytelling, coming together.
Some stories stay with us forever. Especially the ones that make us laugh, dream, and see the world a little differently. For generations, the Moomins have been that kind of story. That’s why we’re so proud to introduce the Once Upon x Moomin collection.
Inspired by Tove Jansson's beloved world, these special-edition photo book covers bring a touch of Moomin magic to your memories. Whether it's everyday moments, or big milestones, these covers turn your stories into keepsakes you'll treasure for years to come. Available for a limited time only.
“I’ll think about that tomorrow, I have more important things on my mind now.”

About the collaboration
Born 1914 in Helsinki into a family of artists, Tove Jansson spent her life painting, writing, and illustrating. While she became internationally loved for creating the whimsical world of the Moomins, her art was always rooted in something much closer to home: real life. Tove spent her summers on a small, windswept island in the Gulf of Finland. Surrounded by nature, she developed a rare gift for noticing extraordinary magic in everyday moments, something that shines through in her work and reflects the core of our beliefs at Once Upon.
“I need to write down my observations, even the tiniest ones; they're the most important.”
– Tove Jansson
