This enamel pin badge says 'Memento Vivere' which translates to Remember to Live - particularly important nowadays with so many demands on our time.
The traditional phrase would be 'Remember you are going to die' which is an important thing to remember, it always helps to remind ourselves things could be worse, and to cherish each day even the bad ones.
We thought a nice twist on this tradtional motto would be 'Remember to Live' because time is the most precious commodity we have and we owe it to ourselves, the people we love and the people who love us to find a balance between our obligations and the life we want to be living.
It's a little reminder to strive to find harmony in life.
Or at least spend more time doing the things you enjoy.
With the whole range we want to celebrate those women who believe in themselves and do things their own way.
Sarah designed this range for her daughter, the sister to the 2littleboys.
A young woman with no time for stereotypical girly things, she can walk around with a pin that says ‘loved’, ‘she flies with her own wings’ or ‘I am not led, I lead’ - that all happen to be in latin, so they’re sort of secret which makes them extra special.
Each pin comes very neatly attached to its own backing card with the english translation prominently displayed (just in case you don’t speak fluent latin).
