For some reason, there is something about sipping my coffee out of a shiny new mug that looks as good as the coffee tastes that just makes me so happy. So, as someone who also hoards dishware like the apocalypse is fast approaching, the release of a new Starbucks merchandise line is reason for celebration in my life.
After the success of their Starbucks x Lilly Pulitzer water bottles, our fave coffee company has teamed up with a new fashion house to tickle our spring fancies. Paul & Joe Couture, their new muse, is based in France, and is known for their light and whimsical designs. They grace us with that same style for their Starbucks line.
The line of tumblers, mugs, and tote bags will be covered with drawings of the fashion house's founder's adorable cat, Gipsy, as well as perfect-for-spring cherry blossoms and butterflies. You can practically smell the flowers just by looking at the products.
Too Good To Be True?
Here's the only problem — the collection is only available in Asia. Non-stop to Beijing, anyone?
However, if you're like me and are just trying to afford your daily caffeine fix in the first place, there is still hope. Word on the street is that there are angels in Asia who are selling these Starbucks gems on eBay; just be careful of crazy overcharges.
