To commemorate Starbucks’ glittering 20 years existence in the Philippines, a grandiose collection of merchandise featuring Philippines’ traditional woven design makes an unexpected debut in Starbucks 20th Anniversary collection.
The coffee brand aims to honor the market that has warmly welcomed its coffee servings, with merchandise that pays tribute to Filipino craftsmanship.
On December 1, Starbucks will release a special collection inspired by local textiles and designed with fine materials including Swarovski® crystals and real white gold. The limited-edition items will be exclusively available from 2PM to 8PM, at Starbucks 6750 on Ayala Avenue, where the Seattle brand first opened its doors.
It was on the same season 20 year ago, when the little coffee shop in Ayala started brewing in December 4, 1997. The aroma of handcrafted beverages wafted from within its walls, which bore the intriguing green mermaid insignia on its walls. Soon enough, the place welcomed coffee lovers who found comfort in the warm smiles of the baristas and in the respite it offered from the bustling Makati City.
