Newtown Mug – Emo Rat on King Street Postcard

$22.00

Side fringe, eyeliner, vinyl under one arm. A Newtown mug for the inner west’s coolest local, who’s definitely not trying too hard.

Save for later ♡

Newtown has always marched to its own beat, and this rat fits right in.

He’s been to every gig on King Street, and he has opinions about all of them.

A Newtown Mug With an Emo Rat

A trendy emo rat leans moodily against a brick wall covered in street art and gig posters, wearing a black hoodie, skinny jeans and boots, with a long fringe over one eye. Behind him, King Street’s terrace shopfronts, a record store and a café line the footpath.

He holds a vinyl record under one arm, and NEWTOWN sits on top in bold navy capitals, postcard style.

Too Cool for King Street

It’s a fond tribute to one of Sydney’s most creative suburbs.

Great for inner west locals, music lovers and anyone who still owns a band hoodie.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
