The best friends and soul mates forever! Tell your favourite people that you care with the heartful "Love" Moomin Classics. The light pink Love Moomin mug from the Moomin Classics Collection features the sweethearts, Snorkmaiden and Moomintroll, hugging each other. The two like to play and spend time together, but their relationship is also romantic. Snorkmaiden constantly wants to be rescued from one place or another, and Moomintroll is happy to oblige.

The illustrations are based on Tove Jansson's comics "Moomin and the Martians" from 1957, "Moomin Builds a New House" and "Moomin Valley Turns Jungle" from 1956, and Tove and Lars Jansson's comic "Snorkmaiden Goes Rococo" from 1958.

Moomin Classics series features each character of the Moominvalley emphasizing each one’s own typical traits. The artwork present the characters from the front and behind and tells the story of that specific character. Arabia’s Moomins are turned from stories to ceramic illustrations by designer Tove Slotte. She has been drawing Moomins onto Arabia items since the beginning of the 1990s. The designer draws inspiration from Tove Jansson’s original illustrations, which she adapts to ceramic shapes. The Moomins have always been close to Tove Slotte’s heart. She articulated the significance of the Moomins nicely when she said: I think everyone should enjoy a little dose of Moomin philosophy every day.
