Dripping Designer Travel Mugs: The Band of Outsiders for Starbucks Collaboration Makes Coffee Couture

Hitting the virtual shelves of StarbucksStore.com tomorrow, and available for purchase in limited quantity in select retail locations in the U.S. and Canada on June 24, 2014, The Band of Outsiders for Starbucks collaboration brews the coffee giant’s fifth designer mug partnership.   

Inspired by his favourite term for coffee, “drip”, the founder of the Band of Outsiders label, Scott Sternberg, re-imagined the Starbucks travel mug in a way that is modern, and rebellious in spirit. Blending iconic Starbucks imagery with Sternberg’s contemporary vision, the Band of Outsiders for Starbucks Limited Edition Designer Ceramic Mug will be sold in one of two paint-drip styles: a black, drip print and a rainbow one.

In Canada the mug will retail for $16.95, a small price to pay to transform your morning cup of brew into a subtle fashion accessory.
