Starbucks merchandise in Japan is some seriously covetable stuff. While the mega coffee chain turns into a shopping hotspot every cherry blossom season for its pretty sakura collections, Starbucks also releases other limited-edition drinkware throughout the year, which you can only get in Japan.

The latest collection to hit our radar is this colourful drinkware line designed by Japanese illustrator Shogo Sekine. The designs pay tribute to three major coffee-producing regions with images of an African elephant, Sumatran tiger and South American quetzal.

The collection uses sustainable materials, including bottles and tumblers made from recycled stainless steel and glass, and plastic from recycled cooking oil. Along with drinkware, the collection also includes a tote bag, notebooks and a stationery pouch.
