Some totes are simply functional. This one carries a little philosophy with it, too.
The Momento Linen Tote is Market of Stars' reimagining of memento mori, the centuries old reminder that life is fleeting, turned here into something gentler and more hopeful. Rather than dwelling on what fades, the artwork looks toward what endures: love, wonder, and the beauty of the moment we're actually living in. At the center of the design, two starlings move together in flight against a luminous full moon, surrounded by time honored symbols: a skull softened by flowers, luna moths mid transformation, sheaves of wheat, and sparrows nestled among the branches. A small banner woven into the print reads Memento Vivere, remember to live. The layered illustration comes from artist Jessica Roux, whose work has a soft, hand drawn warmth that gives the whole piece a storybook quality rather than anything somber.
Beyond the artwork, this is a genuinely practical everyday bag. It's cut from the same linen blend used in Market of Stars' Artist Pants, a soft, slouchy 55% linen and 45% viscose fabric that has real drape without feeling flimsy. The wide straps sit comfortably on the shoulder for all day wear, and an interior pocket keeps smaller essentials like keys or a phone from getting lost at the bottom of the bag.
At The Periwinkle Shoppe, we carry a curated selection of Market of Stars pieces, and the Momento Tote is a favorite for anyone drawn to boho, artisan style with a bit of meaning behind it. It pairs naturally with the rest of the Market of Stars collection for a coordinated, storytelling wardrobe.
