Discovery Series Ornament – Chiapas

Posted on

The Starbucks Discovery Series Ornament Chiapas focuses on some of the traditions, wildlife, plants, and everyday culture associated with Mexico’s southernmost state. Chiapas is known for its Indigenous heritage, tropical forests, coffee production, colorful textiles, and extraordinary biodiversity. The state is home to large Maya and other Indigenous communities, and many traditional crafts and agricultural practices remain an important part of daily life.

One interesting detail I noticed with the Mexican ornaments is the manufacturing information. All of them seem to have a small transparent sticker saying “Made in China”, while the bottom of the ornament and the box say “Made in Malaysia”.… Read more

You Are Here Christmas – London Speckle Debossed

Posted on

The You Are Here Christmas – London Speckle Debossed mug is a fascinating prototype from a private collection, and it is currently being offered for sale. That makes this a rare opportunity to acquire a truly unique piece of Starbucks memorabilia, especially since this version never made it to store shelves. The design itself is unlike anything Starbucks ultimately released in the You Are Here series: the surface is covered with subtle speckles, while the vertical STARBUCKS wordmark is debossed directly into the ceramic instead of being printed.… Read more
