Retro checkered latte mug

Mug
R 200,00
This isn't just a small coffee cup. It’s a hand-painted checkerboard—bright, dark blue squares mismatched with white—that feels perfectly imperfect in your hands. It’s small enough for a quick morning espresso or a kid’s cocoa, but it carries a huge impact. Every time you pick it up, you’re helping the Ikemeleng Foundation in Diepsloot feed over 600 people every single day through the Empty Bowls Project. The slightly wonky lines and unique little bubbles in the finish give it a charming decorative quality, showing you it was made by hand, not a machine. That character is what makes it special. It’s a simple way to bring a little extra heart into your day and actually change someone’s life while you’re at it.Please note that this cup is not food-safe and is intended for decorative use only. *this artwork is decorative only, not safe for use with food
