Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’d know that K-pop group BIGBANG is making their highly anticipated return to Singapore for a concert at the National Stadium this weekend.
And if you’re a fan of the group’s leader, G-DRAGON, here’s some good news: the Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection, which sold out during its online pre-order, will be available to shop at the Stanley 1913 pop-up at Jewel Changi Airport from 16th October 2026.

True fans probably already know about ZO&FRIENDS, but for those just hopping on the bandwagon, here’s a quick introduction.
ZO&FRIENDS is a character brand created by LINE FRIENDS (IPX) and G-DRAGON, featuring a lineup of adorable characters: ZOA, a fluffy grey cat; A&NE, a daisy that lives in a flower pot; and AKI ZAKI, a quirky duo of pink and yellow bubbles.
A quick scroll through ZO&FRIENDS’ Instagram page will show that the brand has already teamed up with many familiar names, including footwear label Converse and cosmetics brand Lush. Its latest collab is with Stanley 1913, one of the biggest names in the hydration game.

The Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection features 4 bottles starring ZOA, the adorable feline we introduced earlier. In case you didn’t know, the collection first dropped as an online pre-order on Stanley 1913’s website on 9th October, but sold out pretty quickly, leaving fans who missed the drop with no choice but to stare at their screens in disappointment.
Thankfully, all hope isn’t lost just yet. The collection will be available at the Stanley 1913 pop-up store at Jewel Changi Airport from 16th October, so you can still try your luck at getting your paws on these bottles. If the bottles alone aren’t enough to convince you to make the trip down, there are also freebies up for grabs, which we’ll get into below.

Available in black and white, the 30oz Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler ($75) features signature daisy prints and other character-inspired details that give the classic Stanley bottle a cute makeover. The bottles also come with a ZOA handle topper!
These are a great pick for those who take their hydration seriously, and having ZOA along for the ride might just make reaching for your water bottle feel less like a chore.

If you prefer a bottle that you can easily slip into your bag for your daily commute, The IceFlow 2.0 FlipStraw Tumbler ($65) is worth checking out. It comes decked out in daisy and character prints, with the letters spelling out “STANLEY” adding to its playful design.
Beyond its aesthetic, this tumbler can keep your drinks cold for up to 7 hours, or 35 hours with ice.

Last but not least, there’s The Café-To-Go Travel Mug ($58), which features a bed of daisies with the ZO&FRIENDS characters tucked among the blooms.
And if you can’t function without your daily coffee fix, you’ll be glad to know that this mug can keep your drink hot for up to 4 hours.
The remaining pieces from the collection will be available at the pop-up, where you can score limited-edition stickers when you purchase an item from the Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection.

You’ll also receive a cat paw plush keychain when you purchase 2 or more items from the collection. Both freebies are available while stocks last, so you might want to head down early if you have your eye on them.
BTW, if you’ve already secured your bottles through the online pre-order, you won’t miss out on the freebies either. All pre-orders with in-store collection are eligible for the limited-edition stickers and keychain.
Not all merch is going to be useful beyond sitting on your shelf and collecting dust, but the Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection is one collab that lets you show off your VIP status while staying hydrated.
Head down to the pop-up at Jewel Changi Airport from 16th October to snag your fave design and grab the freebies before they are all gone.
