THE FUSE

The world’s favorite Finnish animated character has become the latest face of the franchised-character-to-luxury pipeline, and we love to see it. That’s right, illustrator Tove Jansson’s Moomin got the Bottega Veneta leather treatment — and it’s actually good? I’m not too shocked because it’s Bottega, a luxury brand known for leathercraft, but the most pleasant surprise lies in how organic Moomin Bottega actually feels, something that doesn’t always happen with character-luxury crossovers.
