MOTH Shop
VISIT Etsy - MOTH SHOP | Design for Life & Death
The Moth Shop.
We passionately believe that design can help us to navigate how we approach, end of life, grief and loss. It may not only change the way we die but also help us to think about how we want to live.
Our products are about Memento Mori – reminding us to live life well, to contemplate our relationship with death and consider what might happen to us, when the one inevitable event we plan for the least comes to visit. Grief & Mourning – how to live forward in our grief, whilst keeping those close to us that we have loved and lost. Keeping safe our Memories & Legacy through our objects, which can tell stories, pass on traditions and act as ambassadors and messengers from other places, other lives, other loves, and other times. Through them we remember.
We should all expect considered design, beautiful craft and meaningful choices in death as we do in life.
Moth works and supports local artists, designers and makers in Cornwall.

MOTH Paper Wreath. Forget Me Not.
Paper flowers have been traditionally used for ceremonies and mediation. This handmade paper floral wreath contains:
Hellebore: Symbolic of serenity, tranquillity, and peace. A wintertime flower which thrives in the season of dying light and frozen soil. Beautiful blooms push through the snow to remind us that spring is on its way.
Chrysanthemum: Symbolic of happiness, love, longevity. In Asia it signifies life and rebirth. In parts of Europe, it is used as a memorial flower and placed on graves as an expression of deep sympathy.
Blossom: Symbolic of renewal and optimism, signifying the ending of winter and the promise of spring. The short blooming season can also remind us of the beauty, fragility, and transience of life.
