If you thought this season’s Starbucks sakura collection was cute, just wait till you see the new limited-edition collaboration with Kate Spade New York. The merchandise series offers six new items including mugs, tumblers and a tote bag.
The collection features two motifs: one inspired by New York City icons and the other is full of colourful stripes and polka dots. Here’s a closer look at the six items.
This 473ml Stainless Steel Kate Spade New York Cityscape Tumbler (¥4,730) features cute illustrations of Big Apple icons such as yellow taxis, pretzels, shopping bags and the Statue of Liberty's crown. The tumbler’s vacuum double-walled construction will keep your beverages hot or cold for a long period of time.
The Stainless Steel Kate Spade New York Cityscape Bottle (¥4,400), on the other hand, has the same motif and double-walled structure as the tumbler. It’s just slimmer and smaller with a capacity of 355ml.
Ideal for your work desk, the Stainless Steel Kate Spade New York Cityscape Mug (¥4,950) comes with a vacuum double-walled construction as well as a removable lid.
The Kate Spade New York Cityscape Tote Bag (¥4,400) features colourful NYC-inspired illustrations. It’s a roomy one (34x34cm), plus the long handles make it easy to carry around when you’re out and about.
This bright and cheery 473ml Stainless Steel Kate Spade Stripes Tumbler (¥4,730) – with a vacuum double-walled structure, of course – will surely get you in the mood for spring.
Covered in Kate Spade’s signature dot pattern, the 473ml Stainless Steel Kate Spade Logo Dots Tumbler (¥4,950) also has what it takes to help maintain the temperature of your drink.
