Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. Collection
Starbucks and accessories brand Herschel Supply Co. have teamed up on a collection of bags and drinkware available exclusively at Starbucks stores in Asia.
The words “reuse”, “recycle” and the universal symbol for recycling are repeated throughout the collection, with orange and green accents for a fun pop of colour. Reinforcing this message of sustainable fashion is the fact that the bags are all made from recycled plastic.
Backpack
Hailing from Canada, Herschel Supply Co. is most famous for its backpacks. While the beloved-by-VSCO-girls Kanken backpacks are known for their wide assortment of colours, Herschel Supply’s popular backpacks are those in more minimalist tones.
The Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. Classic XL Backpack reflects that aesthetic. The majority of the bag is in black, with the front storage pocket sporting both brands’ logos.
A typical Herschel Supply Co. Classic XL Backpack measures 17.5 inches x 12.5 inches x 6 inches. It also usually includes a 15-inch laptop sleeve and dual water bottle pockets. This means it is roomy enough for school and to bring along on your travels.
Pouch
The collection also includes a pouch based on Herschel Supply Co.’s Chapter Travel Kit in the same fabric. The carrying handle is in bright orange, allowing you to spot and carry it easily.
The typical Chapter travel kit measures 6 inches x 9.5 inches x 4.5 inches. It has a main compartment and an internal mesh storage sleeve. While it is usually meant for storing your passport, camera, sunglasses and other holiday essentials, the pouch can also be used while you’re working from home. Use it to store all the miscellaneous items on your WFH station, since better storage = increased productivity.

Hip pack
Another item meant for your travels that could easily fit into your Circuit Breaker routine is the Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. Fifteen Hip Pack. It measures 6.5 inches x 7.75 inches x 2 inches. Throw in your mask, reusable bag, travel-size hand sanitiser, and sling it across your shoulder to embark on your next grocery run.
Tote
The Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. Long Tote seems to be the only bag in the collection that is not based on an existing Herschel Supply Co. bag. As its name suggests, it is long enough to keep your laptop, work documents… or even a baguette. No one said a bag can only be used for one occasion, right? You do you, boo.
Drinkware
This might be a collab with an accessories brand, but it’s not a Starbucks collection if it doesn’t include cups and tumblers. The 12oz stainless steel mug is great for your morning cuppa, while the 16oz stainless steel tumbler can accompany you at your desk for the rest of the day.
Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. Collection
The Starbucks x Herschel Supply Co. collection is graphic and minimalist at the same time. It will serve you well on your travels, but for now, it will also fit right into your Circuit Breaker routine.
According to a press release from Starbucks, the limited-edition collaboration will be available from 22 April 2020 at selected Starbucks stores across Asia. We have reached out to a representative from Starbucks Singapore to find out if and when it will be available on our shores, so watch this space for more information.
