Starbucks has a new limited-edition range of merchandise, including a K-Way waterproof jacket, a pair of Nordica skis, and a dog puffer jacket accompanied by a travel bowl developed with Poldo Dog Couture.
There's also tote bags, notebooks, mugs and pins - all featuring the platform’s playful motif, created by Lucas Zanotto. Zanotto chose the famous green cup as the base for his design.
It's been curated by Sarah Andelman, founder of Just An Idea, celebrating Starbucks' connection with Milan, and transforming the Starbucks Reserve Roastery Milano.
Sarah says: “It’s an honour to collaborate with the Starbucks team for this project. The Milan Reserve Roastery, housed in a historic former Post office, is an iconic location for the city. Introducing the iconic characters of Lucas Zanotto and working with talented designers both for the brands’ collaborations and for the apron re-invented, is very uplifting and I hope visitors will get to be inspired, while drinking their good coffee."
The launch of the project will coincide with Milan Men’s Fashion Week January 2026 when Starbucks will unveil three special collaborations.
Esther Van Onselen, VP Brand & Customer Experience for Europe, Middle East and Africa, says: “Milan has always been a source of inspiration for Starbucks – shaping our vision of what a truly elevated coffeehouse experience could be.
"With The House of Coffee, we’re honouring that connection by bringing a new level of craft, creativity and personal expression to our Milan Roastery. This is our most immersive home in Europe, and the perfect setting to introduce collaborations that reflect the premium experience our customers expect from Starbucks."

Lucas adds: “This project really brings together so many things I love — art, design, coffee, and collaboration. Working with Starbucks and with Sarah Andelman in Milan has been incredibly exciting, and creating an immersive experience there feels especially personal and joyful to me as an Italian."
In February, during Milan Women’s Fashion Week, Starbucks will introduce The Apron Project, with an exclusive charity apron customized by a range of Milan-based creative forces, including Vogue Italia Head of Editorial Content Francesca Ragazzi, Carolina Castiglioni, Founder and Creative Director of luxury label Plan C, fashion designer Sara Battaglia, as well as Galib Gassanoff, founder of fashion label Institution.
A selection of limited-edition merchandise featuring the artist’s illustrations will be available exclusively at the Milan Roastery, including a bag, game cards, pins, a notebook, stickers and a T-shirt.
