Starbucks x UNDERCOVER Release Limited-Edition Mugs

If you’ve been hunting down unique coffee accessories with serious design credibility, here’s one you might’ve missed: a pair of limited-edition Starbucks mugs created in collaboration with the cult Japanese fashion label UNDERCOVER. But these aren’t just any promotional items—they’re part of a curated fashion editorial, and they come with some deliberate design details worth noticing.

In short: Starbucks and UNDERCOVER have produced two mugs exclusively for the November 24 issue of PRODISM magazine. They come in black and white, feature both brand logos, have the signature Starbucks ribbed handle, and include a "PRODISM exclusive" mark on the base. They’re sold as a set and packaged in a special box.

What’s Special About These Starbucks x UNDERCOVER Mugs?

The collaboration centers on a pair of plain black and white ceramic mugs. Both carry the Starbucks and UNDERCOVER logos, maintaining a minimalist aesthetic. The ribbed handle is the classic Starbucks design, reinforcing brand recognition while fitting the understated tone. Most notably, the base of each mug is stamped with the words "《PRODISM》" ("Exclusively for PRODISM"), marking them as limited-edition items for the magazine’s feature.

Where Can You Buy the Mugs?

The mugs are available in two ways. First, they’re sold as a set through the Starbucks Omotesando B-SIDE store in Tokyo and via Starbucks’ official online shop. Second, you can reserve them directly at four UNDERCOVER retail locations: UNDERCOVER Aoyama, Sendai, Kanazawa, and Nagoya. That means fans outside Japan may need to act quickly through the online channels or international shipping options.

Why This Collaboration Matters

This isn’t just a branding exercise. The mugs were created as part of a special feature on UNDERCOVER in the November 24 issue of PRODISM, a well-regarded fashion publication. The collaboration reflects a blending of high-fashion sensibility with everyday café culture—something both brands have played with in different ways. The result is a product that feels more like a collector’s piece than a standard promo item.
