Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS Cups Arrive in Malaysia
Stanley 1913, the brand whose stainless-steel tumblers have become a familiar sight on Malaysian desks and in gym bags, has a new collectible drop for fans here. The Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection teams the drinkware maker with ZO&FRIENDS, the character world created by IPX and musician G-DRAGON, and it puts the cloud cat ZOA onto a range of its bottles.
ZOA is the collection's star: a cloud cat who takes things slow and comes across as aloof while quietly caring about everyone around it. That character runs across the range through daisy graphics, character details and collectible accessories, wrapped in custom packaging.
What the Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS collection includes
The lineup reworks four Stanley 1913 silhouettes with the ZO&FRIENDS treatment. Prices are set in ringgit:
- Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS ProTour 30 oz in Black, RM260
- Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS ProTour 30 oz in Frost, RM260
- Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS IceFlow 20 oz in Black, RM205
- Stanley 1913 x ZO&FRIENDS Café-To-Go Travel Mug 12 oz in Frost, RM200
Alongside the bottles are limited-edition character handle toppers, so you can clip a ZO&FRIENDS character onto your cup. The collection also comes with a limited-edition gift box modelled on ZOA's dreamy sky world, which makes the set easy to give as a present.
Why this collab stands out
Stanley has leaned on pop-culture tie-ups to keep its bottles feeling current, part of the same character-drinkware wave that recently brought Snoopy and the Peanuts gang to Starbucks Malaysia. The G-DRAGON link adds a K-pop pull on top, following other music-world tie-ups that have reached Malaysia such as The Weeknd's Samra Origins coffee at Nespresso. For anyone who already owns a plain Stanley, the ZOA artwork and the clip-on toppers are the reason to add one more.
"At Stanley 1913, we are always looking for meaningful ways to connect with consumers through culture and creativity," said Yunien Chang, General Manager, APAC.
Where and when to buy in Malaysia
The collection opens for pre-order from 9 to 12 October through the Stanley 1913 Malaysia online store. It then launches in person at the Stanley 1913 store in Mid Valley Megamall on 16 October.
There are extras for launch-week buyers. Every purchase at the Mid Valley store comes with limited-edition stickers while stocks last, and anyone who buys two or more items receives a cat paw plush, available only at that store and also while stocks last. Terms apply.
If Stanley's queue culture has already reached your group chat, this is the drop to watch. Prices start at RM200, the character toppers are the collectible hook, and the first wave is online only before it reaches Mid Valley on 16 October.
