The Elmhurst Mug now has its own dedicated page on my website! ☕️ You can see the design and read the story behind it here:

While making town mugs across Northern Illinois, I wanted to draw one for Elmhurst. Its leafy neighborhoods stood out to me: so many trees in a suburb close to Chicago. I began gathering the local places and details that make the town feel like itself and drawing them by hand.

I reached out to Melissa Villanueva at Brewpoint Coffee with the artwork, and she loved the idea. We talked with the Brewpoint team about the mug and added their logo to the design. It has been a pleasure collaborating with Melissa and the staff, and the mugs have continued to sell well through their cafés.

I am grateful for their support and for the opportunity to celebrate Elmhurst through a local coffee shop that cares about its community.

Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛

The Elmhurst mug is a hand-drawn Elmhurst, Illinois keepsake featuring Wilder Park and Elmhurst Art Museum. Find this local gift at Brewpoint Coffee.

When we set out to create The Elmhurst Mug our aspiration was to make the BEST quality mug with ALL your favourite features for everyday use!

-A mug FULLY WRAPPED with artwork of the area, Ashley Ann’s detailed hand drawings of iconic Elmhurst images fully engulf all angles, to bring your morning cup of coffee to the next level. This isn’t your average logo mug.

-We went BIG, selecting a 15oz oversized mug.

-A mug with style and function, we landed on the latte style mug both for design aesthetic and functionality, it’s great for coffee, soup or late night ice cream!

-We chose quality product. This mug is solid, not only for durability to hold up well in the dishwasher and microwave but also because it insulates better keeping your coffee warmer.

-We thought through the experience, we wanted a curved lip on the top to give the smoothest drinking experience.

All of this came at a higher production cost but we knew it would be worth it, we wanted to put out the best possible mug we could. It’s not your average mug and is priced at $24.

We hope you love The Elmhurst Mug as much as we do! It’s sure to be a family favorite!
