Starbucks merch like the viral Bearista Glass Cold Cup has a way of making us spend more than we should. Now, the brand is back with yet another collection that’s too cute not to share.
The new Starbucks Peranakan-Inspired Collection features a collection of pretty pink merchandise, and of course, the star of the lineup has to be the adorable Bearista Plush Keychain, dressed in a traditional kebaya.

There’s a total of 5 items to cop, including mugs, a tumbler, and the ever-popular Bearista keychains. Each piece is decked out in iconic Peranakan tile motifs, soft pastel hues, or even a tiny kebaya.

We can’t start this section without talking about the Starbucks Peranakan Bearista Plush Keychain ($29.90) first, because if we’re being honest, it’s easily the cutest item in the collection.
The bear is dressed in a kebaya, the blouse-and-skirt ensemble commonly worn by Peranakan women – safe to say Starbucks understood the assignment. Get your hands on one before it’s sold out, then clip it onto your bag for an extra dose of cuteness wherever you go.

Not everyone wants a fluffy plush dangling from their bag. If that’s you, the Peranakan Bearista Keychain ($21.90) is a subtler alternative. It’s also dressed in a traditional kebaya as the plush version, but comes in a smaller, waterproof design that’ll spruce up your bag without screaming that you’re obsessed with Starbucks merch.

The Peranakan Patchwork Ceramic Mug 12oz ($29.90) comes in a pretty pastel pink-and-green colourway, and is one for those who like their drinkware as aesthetic as their coffee. Made from ceramic, it’s ideal for your daily caffeine fix.

If you don’t need a giant tumbler like the ones at the Stanley 1913 pop-up, the Peranakan Tiles Stainless Steel Tumbler 8oz ($39.90) is just the right size. It’s suitable for both hot and cold beverages, while the compact design makes it comfortable to hold as you sip on the go.

Rounding off the collection is the Peranakan Bearista Ceramic Mug 12oz ($29.90), which gives you the best of both worlds. It features Bearista dressed in a kebaya printed on the mug, so you get to enjoy the cute design without having to worry about where to display it.
You can purchase the items in-store or online through the Starbucks website, LazMall, and ShopeeMall.
We already have a feeling the Bearista keychains are going to be the first to fly off the shelves. So don’t wait too long, as the entire Peranakan-Inspired Collection is available while stocks last.
