Some people get their mum’s name in a banner. Real Aussies pledge eternal loyalty to their thongs, and this thongs mug proves it. A mug for the person whose feet haven’t seen a closed shoe in years.

Save for later ♡

In Australia, thongs aren’t just footwear. They’re a way of life, a weapon against spiders and occasionally formal wear.

So we gave them the ultimate tribute: a tattoo flash design.

A Thongs Mug in Old-School Tattoo Style

A pair of rubber thongs is crossed in an X, with a classic tattoo scroll banner wrapped across them reading THONGS FOREVER.

Little stars and a cheeky sun surround the design, drawn with bold black outlines and flat traditional tattoo colours.

Loyal to the Sole

It’s a celebration of the most Australian footwear ever invented, in the art style of sailors and old tattoo parlours.

Ideal for beach lovers, barefoot enthusiasts and anyone who has worn thongs to a wedding.

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.
