Starbucks: when coffee becomes a collectible

Step into the world of the Starbucks collection, where coffee culture meets the art of collecting. Far beyond a simple cup, Starbucks has turned its ceramic mugs, stainless steel tumblers, water bottles and plush toys into genuine objects of desire, sought after by collectors around the globe. Regional limited editions, cult collaborations and seasonal series: every piece tells a story and quickly becomes impossible to find once sold out. MTHOR hand-picks the most coveted references from the Starbucks universe, each one authenticated by our team of experts before shipping. Whether you're after a Bearista tumbler, a Hello Kitty edition or a limited plush, you'll find genuine, inspected pieces ready to join your collection.

The story of an icon: from everyday cup to collector's grail

Founded in Seattle in 1971, Starbucks built far more than a coffee chain: a true culture of the object. From the 2000s, the brand's tumblers and mugs became identity markers, released by city, country and season. The famous “You Are Here” series and the glass and ceramic Christmas editions laid the foundations of a global secondary market, where some regional pieces sell for several times their original price.

The phenomenon exploded with collaborations. The Bearista mascot, declined into tumblers and accessories, became an icon in its own right. Partnerships with pop universes such as Hello Kitty (Sanrio), Toy Story and Miffy drew in a new generation of collectors, while the Bearbrick Starbucks 100% & 400% set bridges art toys and streetwear. Today, owning a rare Starbucks piece means holding a fragment of this global culture.

Materials and craftsmanship: what makes a great Starbucks piece?

The value of a Starbucks collectible lies as much in its design as in its making. Double-walled stainless steel tumblers provide lasting thermal insulation, while ceramic mugs and glass tumblers rely on refined finishes, textures and colours unique to each edition. Plush toys stand out through the quality of their fabric, embroidery and official tags.

Three elements make all the difference: the finish (quality of the flocking, varnish, stitching and prints), the accuracy of official markings (logos, region codes, Sanrio or Starbucks tags) and the condition (original box, accessories, no scratches). These are exactly the points our team inspects to guarantee an authentic piece, true to its original edition.

The collection's iconic pieces

Our Starbucks collection brings together the most sought-after references of the moment. On the tumblers and mugs side, find the Starbucks Bear “Bearista” Glass Tumbler Cup, the Starbucks x Toy Story 5 MD Quinten Tumbler White/Red, as well as the full Hello Kitty range: the Hello Kitty 16oz Ceramic Mug, the 12oz, 24oz and 26oz stainless steel tumblers, and the Hello Kitty 20oz Stainless Steel Water Bottle. On the plush and art toy side, the Starbucks Hello Kitty Plush and the Bearbrick Starbucks 100% & 400% set round off a selection designed for true collectors.

A highly anticipated newcomer: the Starbucks Miffy Plush Doll joins the collection. Born from the meeting of Starbucks' coffee universe and Dick Bruna's famous rabbit, this limited-edition plush is set to be one of the season's most prized pieces. Like all our references, it is selected and inspected by our team before shipping.
