Starbucks is honoring the Latin American culture through the release of its newest merchandise collection. The items are part of the brand’s Artist Collaboration series, and this is already the third batch.
As per QSR Magazine, the latest collaborative items in Starbucks’ artist collection were designed by Manuela Guillén, an artist, painter, muralist, illustrator, and educator. Through her partnership with the coffee chain, she has created art pieces that honor her roots and overall Latin American culture.
Her designs are embossed on several Starbucks merchandise, and these are now being sold in participating stores across the United States. Fans and collectors must grab the items before they run out, as they will only be available while supplies last.
It was mentioned that the ongoing cooperation between artists and Starbucks was first announced in May this year. It was created with the aim of celebrating and uplifting diverse voices and stories of artists from different cultures around the world.
The company is making this possible by producing and marketing goods featuring unique designs under the Starbucks branding. The art pieces are exclusive to the brand’s drinkware collection. For Guillén’s collection, customers may choose from three items - "Manuela Dream Stainless Steel Tumbler," the “Buenas Vibras" Cold Cup, and the "Manuela Heart Cold Cup.”
The featured artist in the third collection, Manuela Guillen, is based in Philadelphia. Her Latin American background originates from her Cuban and Salvadorian roots. Her art pieces are colorful and usually nature-inspired.
“I think community comes first for me. When I want to put my art in the world, I try to put everyone in my mind. My art is connecting with people and the earth,” Guillen said in a statement about her collaboration with Starbucks. “When you think about Latin America – we are a very diverse group. People may ski in the south or live near the beach in the Caribbean. I am hoping it’s a beautiful little collection where people can see themselves.”
