Momento Scarf by Market of Stars

A beautiful reminder to seize the day— to be fully, tenderly, alive in this very moment. Momento is our reimagining of the traditional memento mori — a phrase once used to remind us of life’s impermanence. Rather than dwelling on what fades, this piece turns its gaze toward what endures: love, truth, wonder… the beauty of the life we are living right now.

At the heart of our design are two starlings, silhouetted against a luminous full moon — companions in flight, moving together through the dark. Gathered around them are time-honored symbols: a skull softened by flowers, luna moths and butterflies mid-transformation, sheaves of wheat, and sparrows nestled among the branches. Beneath it all, a banner reads Memento Vivere: remember to live.

The layered artwork in this collection is a collage of original illustrations by celebrated artist Jessica Roux, whose hand brings warmth and gentleness to everything she creates. In her world, each element becomes a small talisman — a reminder of cycles, change, and the fragile, luminous beauty of being alive. Created as a piece for those who find meaning in moonlight, in wings, in wildflowers pressed between pages, Momento is a reminder to savour what is fleeting, to hold what matters close — and to live boldly and joyfully while we can.
