The Latest Starbucks Mugs

You Are Here – Den Haag

Posted on

This is the third YAH from Netherlands. Again Starbucks has used native (in this case Dutch) version of the name – You Are Here – Den Haag. You probably know it better as The Hague. By coincidence this is the third-largest city in the Netherlands. Over 150 international organisations are hosted here. Probably the most noticeable are International Court of Justice (ICJ), the International Criminal Court (ICC).
The colors of the mug are pretty vivid, yet Icon collectors might not like it.… Read more

You Are Here – China (Hangzhou, Nanjing, Suzhou, Wuxi, Ningbo, Shanghai)

Posted on

You probably remember my previous post about China YAHs coming out. We had some bad quality pics of Christmas and one regular YAH. Everyone agreed that the last one is probably Hangzhou. But if you look at the newly leaked pics – it seems like Hangzhou will have a different design. I am now confused which one is real. I tend to believe the last news, since insiders even announced the date – mid September.
There are six mugs revealed so far:
You Are Here – Hangzhou
You Are Here – Nanjing
You Are Here – Suzhou
You Are Here – Wuxi
You Are Here – Ningbo
You Are Here – Shanghai
I am pretty sure there will be more, so free some place on your shelf if you’re planning to add these to your collection.… Read more

Icon – Oktoberfest 5

Posted on

I was pretty sure no Icons will be released anymore since You Are Here series is replacing them. Yet Starbucks doesn’t give up. The never seen before Icon has hit shelves in Munich. I hope you still have the place for Icons in your cabinets – who knows, maybe it’s not the end for this long-living series, loved by many collectors.

You Are Here Disney – Disneyland 2

Posted on

You probably remember how Starbucks replaced Hollywood Studios with second version. Many wondered if other Disney YAHs will eventually be replaced. Looks like we have the answer now, because Hollywood Studios v2 has just been released. The mug looks great and it has aroused excitement among many collectors – enough to mention it was sold out within a day. I really hope Starbucks has more in stock as the hype in demand will remain high for some time.
I’ve never been to Disneyland, so can’t tell for sure if design hit the mark and I ask you to tell me in the comments.… Read more

You Are Here – France

Posted on

Allons enfants de la Patrie, Le jour de gloire est arrivé!
Anyone wondering why am I singing La Marseillaise? Guess what? First European country YAH – France was released this week. Someone won’t agree but I think this mug is really beautiful. I really love dark blue mugs, in first place, but this one is special.
Mountains, Mont Saint-Michel, grapes, cheese and wine (back of the mug) – all you need to know about France (according to Starbucks).
Mont Saint-Michel is an island located about 700 yards (600 meters) from land and is accessible in low tide, but surrounded by water in high tide.… Read more

You Are Here – Aberdeen

Posted on

Scotland scores again. Welcome the new mug from You Are Here series – Aberdeen. This city is only third by population in Scotland, yet it now has YAH and Glasgow doesn’t. Don’t forget, Edinburgh has been released long time ago too. Hey, Starbucks, what is your logic? It’s not like I am complaining, just trying to understand you.
As for the mug itself, I would like to mention Aberdeen Beach and Queens Links which is famous for it’s golden sand. Unfortunately it suffers from erosion and multiple actions are performed in order to protect it.… Read more

You Are Here – Newcastle Upon Tyne

Posted on

While on vacation I missed to add two new mugs from the You Are Here series list. Starbucks in not very consistent in releasing those – one week we get nothing, the other week we get two. Anyway, please welcome Newcastle Upon Tyne mug.
This city from North East England, also commonly called simply Newcastle, is the most populous in this region. As you can see from the pic, The Castle is seen on the front of mug, which gave the name for the city.… Read more

You Are Here – Mykonos

Posted on

There were some speculations about Corfu store reopening and I kind of expected a Corfu YAH to come out. Even though people wanted a re-release of Corfu Icon, I knew it will be YAH. I guess everyone was wrong since Starbucks surprised us with You Are Here Mykonos mug instead.
What can I say about that mug? It’s Greece – so lots of sun, sea and white houses with blue windows covering mountains and hills. It’s beautiful and everyone should visit Greece at least once in a lifetime.… Read more

You Are Here – Marrakech

Posted on

Like I mentioned in my previous post about Casablanca, two Moroccan You Are Here mugs were simultaneously released. This is the second of them – Marrakech. Please note, Starbucks used French spelling instead of commonly used – Marrakesh. From what I understand only these two cities in Morocco have Starbucks stores, so it kind of explains the choice for these mugs.
Interesting fact – many cities in Morocco have fortified center filled with vendors which is called medina… Read more

You Are Here – Casablanca

Posted on

New week, new release from Starbucks. Two new You Are Here mugs – Casablanca and Marrakech. Both from the same country – Morocco.
Casablanca is the largest city in Morocco with the population of over 5 millions. It was initially named Anfa before the Portuguese took the city over and renamed it to CasaBranca (white house in Portuguese). Later when Portugal was the part of Spanish kingdom it was adjusted to Casablanca (spanish version). Even though it was given an Arabic name in 18th century – Ad-dar Al Baidaa’ – many locals still nickname it “Casa”.… Read more
