Summer has arrived early at Starbucks.
The natural beauty of Brazil inspired a new and limited-edition drinkware collection at the Seattle-based coffee chain, designed in collaboration with iconic fashion and lifestyle brand FARM Rio.
“With roots in the nature and culture of Rio de Janeiro, FARM Rio blends craftsmanship with contemporary design – infusing good vibes and artisan flair into daily life through its colorful collections,” Starbucks said in a news release.
The collection, which includes colorful drinkware (and adorable mini cold cup key chains) in five iconic FARM Rio prints, made its debut at stores nationwide on May 13. Starbucks says customers have been asking for another collaboration with FARM Rio since 2022, when the first collection between the global brands arrived in Asia.
“We believe summer isn’t just a season, it’s a state of mind,” Mariana Leal, a FARM Rio executive, said in a statement. “This collab with Starbucks is our way of celebrating that vibrant, colorful energy that’s so true to FARM Rio’s spirit.”
Here’s what to know about Starbucks’ collaboration with FARM Rio, including a closer look at the designs.
FARM Rio cups, mug make Starbucks debut
The FARM Rio + Starbucks drinkware collection, which celebrates the “joy of nature in full bloom,” made its debut on May 13.
From a ceramic mug to stainless steel tumblers, the products are “living stories of Brazil’s rich natural beauty.” The prices or overall price range for the collection was not provided.
‘Banana Mix’
The “Banana Mix” design, which features a “freshly picked mix of vibrant fruits and florals,” decorates a 24-ounce stainless cold cup in radiant blue.
‘Borogodo’
The “Borogodo” pattern features “colorful embroidery and beadwork embody the irrepressible charm of the Borogodo pattern, a take on the Brazilian Portuguese word for ‘free spirit.'” The “striking design” can be found on both the 24-ounce stainless cold cup and the 20-ounce stainless steel water bottle.
‘Board Banana’
The “Banana Board” print wraps around a 24-ounce green cold cup and even showcases more bananas (yellow and green) with a “whimsical” straw accessory.
‘Lenco Azulejo’
The “Lenco Azulejo” pattern was inspired by colorful hand-painted tiles known as “azulejo,” which resemble a handkerchief or scarf known as “lenco.”
Both the 24-ounce stainless tumbler and 14-ounce ceramic mug feature “a serene palette of blues and whites and a pair of birds, a macaw and a toucan, both native to Brazil.”
‘Banana Leaves’
A “playful” design of tropical banana leaves, aptly named “Banana Leaves,” encircles the 16-ounce stainless tumbler in “rich hues of magenta, gold and jade green.”
