Starbucks is teaming up with Disney for a 20-piece Starbucks x Winnie the Pooh collection celebrating 100 years of the Hundred Acre Wood. The limited-edition lineup drops on Oct. 20, delivering honey-drip cold cups, ceramic beehive mugs, and plush Bearista keychains.
It’s an incredibly cute collection that is bound to cause a stir, but there’s a catch. We hate to break it to you like this, but the collection is exclusive to the Asia-Pacific region.
What’s in the Starbucks x Winnie the Pooh collection?
The 20-piece range mixes aesthetic drinkware with lifestyle accessories:
-
Hunny Pot Tumblers and Cold Cups: Cold cups with honey-drip lids, golden-yellow straw toppers, and Pooh illustrations.
-
Ceramic Beehive Mug: A textured, beehive-shaped ceramic mug featuring Pooh stuck in a honey pot entry.
-
Bearista Costume Keychains and Phone Straps: Collectible Starbucks Bearistas dressed in plush costumes of Pooh, Piglet, Eeyore, and Tigger.
-
Packable Tote Bag: A reusable Hundred Acre Wood tote that folds into its own matching pouch.
We want everything, but here’s where it gets complicated.
How to buy this collection?
If you live in North America or Europe, you won’t find these on local Starbucks shelves.
On launch day (Oct. 20), the collection will be available at participating Starbucks coffeehouses in Australia, Indonesia, Malaysia, New Zealand, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, and Vietnam. Unfortunately for collectors elsewhere, the secondary market is going to be your best bet.
Exporters will begin listing inventory from Oct. 20, but you should expect a significant markup over retail prices on high-demand pieces like the ceramic beehive mug and plush Bearista straps. Head over to eBay and good luck.
If you desperately want official Disney x Starbucks drinkware without paying reseller markups, the Disney Store regularly stocks collaboration tumblers that ship directly to U.S. and UK addresses. In fact, we’ve spotted a cute Winnie the Pooh tumbler going for $27.99.
