May Issue: MOTHERHOOD - hold & become
This month, we view motherhood not as a fixed role, but as a living duality—something we carry and, at the same time, are constantly becoming. It manifests itself across generations, in relationships, in nature, and within ourselves. It is strength and gentleness at the same time, holding on and letting go, stability and change. From mother to daughter, from ourselves to ourselves, from nature to everything it nurtures—this story connects us across time. Not defined by a single form, but shaped by everything it touches. Motherhood, it’s time to hold & become.
Our companions for May
Our companions for May speak to this very movement between what we hold onto and what we become. The leather pants symbolize passing on; a piece that takes shape over time, adapts, and bears the marks of experience—just as experiences do not fade away but become part of us. The mini bag stays close to the body, stripped down to the essentials, like a quiet moment that exists only for itself. The Re:piece Tote Bag in two colors visibly brings this duality together—two sides that are not mutually exclusive but together form a whole.
This creates a picture of closeness and distance, of constancy and change. Like pages in a photo album that isn’t perfectly organized, but grows organically—filled with moments that come and go, yet remain. Here, too, motherhood reveals itself as something that cannot be captured without simultaneously changing.
This month, we’re not asking what motherhood is. We’re feeling it—in everything that sustains us, shapes us, and lives on within us.
This month, we celebrate MOTHERHOOD in all its forms—in closeness and distance, in holding on and letting go, in what we pass on and what takes shape within us. A quiet cycle of relationships, memories, and moments that shape us, often without us realizing it right away.
Not everything needs to be named to have meaning. Much of it reveals itself in the spaces in between, in everyday life, in change, and in life itself. Perhaps our task is to allow for both: holding on and becoming.
