THE NEW STARBUCKS PLANNERS ARE HERE

- By Irene C. Perez

Ready for 2020? The upcoming Starbucks planners and travel organizers might just be the best designs yet.

Super had a first look at the coveted Starbucks items in a preview presented by the marketing team headed by Keith Cole and Jo-ann Ramos, recently held at the Clock-in coworking space at Ayala North Exchange in Makati City.

The Starbucks daily planners come in two colors: Berry Pink and Frost Gray, both done in hardbound leather, elastic band. Berry Pink cover shows an embossed Siren face with a gold crown (our favorite!), while Frost Gray features the Siren tail holding up a golden coffee cup.

Inside, the layout is simple and clean, highlighte­d by colorful illustrati­ons with coffee informatio­n serving as monthly dividers.

We love the elegant suede pouch casing with a Siren zipper, which can double as a pencil bag, makeup kit, even a mini tablet sleeve.

Travel Organizer, a wrap case with multiple card slots, pockets and pen holder. The Travel Organizer comes in fresh Neo Mint and classic Coffee colors, with a stripe elastic closure accent.

The accompanyi­ng mini notebook has three-page formats: plain for doodling and notes, grid and dotted grid for bullet journaling.

Other add-ons for both the planners and organizers: a bookmark, green and gold sticker sheet, monthly tear-off vouchers and a gift box.

Spanish eco-leather

Cole said that all the minimalist covers are done in eco-leather from “preconsume­r recycled cowhide fibers bonded by natural latex—a renewable resource tapped from Hevea rubber trees.” The materials are sourced from leather factories in Valencia, Spain, an area known for leather tanning.

The pages, meanwhile, are produced in a green facility certified by the Forest Stewardshi­p Council.

You know the drill: Get 18 stickers by buying any Tall, Grande or Venti drink and fill out a promo card to redeem a planner or organizer; e-stickers on the Starbucks Philippine­s app are also honored. The sticker collection tradition will start on Nov. 2, 2019, while claiming would be until Jan. 7, 2020.
