The Starbucks x Fila collection is a collaboration that fuses Fila’s Italian-heritage inspiration with iconic coffee giant Starbucks. This limited-edition line offers a modern interpretation of two classics and is based on the iconic color palette of Fila and timeless branding of Starbucks. The line consists of bags, drink containers, and other wearable items. They even offer a reusable plastic straw in a small, adorable container.
Since 1971, Starbucks Coffee Company has been committed to ethically sourcing and roasting high-quality Arabica coffee. With several stores around the globe, the company is now the premier roaster and retailer of specialty coffee in the world.
Fila started its textile beginnings in Biella, Italy, in 1911 and introduced its colors on the tennis court in 1973 with the brand taking pride in creating designs as bold and breathtaking as its wearers, many of whom are current top tennis players.
A small afternoon launch was hosted by Fila’s Cris Albert at the Fila headquarters in Taguig. Guests were antigen tested prior to entry and enjoyed an afternoon of coffee and food from Starbucks! Champagne was served as well. Each guest also had a chance to spin a wheel to win some of the Starbucks x Fila items.
The designer collaboration is now available at select Starbucks stores and the Starbucks flagship store on Lazada while supplies last.
