LOS ANGELES, June 10 — Band of Outsiders designer Scott Sternberg is the latest in a line of fashion talents to create a custom mug for coffee house Starbucks.
Two limited edition designs of double-walled ceramic mugs feature black or multi-coloured paint ‘dripping’ down the side in honour of Sternberg’s favourite brew. The mugs will be available to buy online at StarbucksStore.com and at select Starbucks locations in the US and Canada from June 24.
“The coffee drink you choose — drip, espresso or a latte — is a form of style and self-expression just as important as what you choose to put on in the morning,” explained Scott Sternberg who left a career as a movie agent to start his brand in 2003.
Previous Starbucks designer collaborations include a range of limited edition products with Rodarte, Charlotte Ronson and Stacey Bendet of alice + olivia. The Band of Outsiders for Starbucks Limited Edition Designer Ceramic Mug will sell for US$14.95 (RM47.80) in the US and US$16.95 in Canada. — AFP Relaxnews
