Friends

The friends
of MOMA.

Two women, two very different lives, one shared idea of clarity. The people who carry MOMA are not faces hired for a campaign — they already had the bottle at home.

Neelofa

A name for breaking barriers.

Actress, entrepreneur and fashion icon, Noor Neelofa built Naelofar into a modest-fashion house known the world over — a story of challenging norms and redefining what is possible. It is the same instinct that drew her to MOMA: a brand that set out to redefine the standard for something as everyday as water.

The partnership was not a leap. Neelofa and her family had been drinking MOMA for years — so the collaboration simply made public what was already true at her own table.

“MOMAwater is a trusted brand and has always been our drinking water at home.”
— Neelofa

The collaboration

MOMA × Neelofa brought a limited-edition label — an exclusive insignia worn only for the campaign — and an invitation to drink a little more mindfully. It carried a wink of delight, too: Twilly scarves, curated by Neelofa herself, for those who joined in.

Yumi

Clarity is not only for the spotlight. Sometimes it is a mother, a quiet morning, a glass shared at home.

From Tokyo to Sibu

A life remade, with intention.

Yumi Shimomura was born in Tokyo and, after marriage, built a new life in Sibu — the same Sarawak town where MOMA is made. There she became a mother of four, a Japanese-language teacher, a cook, and the founder of a local blog-shop, raising her family at a slower, gentler pace.

Her wish is a simple one — a healthy life for her children, her husband and herself — and her habit is to find beauty in the smallest things. It is, almost word for word, what MOMA means by a moment of clarity.

“Learn to love change — it helps us discover things about ourselves.”
— Yumi

Clarity, in good company.

The friends of MOMA already had the bottle at home. The rest of us can join them — in 300mL, 500mL and 1500mL.
