Genuine article. Certified true blue. A Fair Dinkum mug for the most authentic Aussie you know, the one who has never once pretended to like a latte art competition.

Save for later ♡

When something is fair dinkum, it’s the real deal. No shortcuts, no fakes, no nonsense.

This mug is labelled like it came off a 1950s grocery shelf, which feels about right for a saying that’s been around since the gold rush.

A Fair Dinkum Mug That Looks Like a Vintage Label

An ornate oval badge frames the words FAIR DINKUM in big, chunky retro capitals, with GENUINE arched across the top and 100% TRUE BLUE along the bottom.

A little kangaroo bounds through the middle, and the whole thing is printed in navy, mustard and cream with a touch of worn texture, like a tin label that has seen a few decades.

The Real Deal

Fair dinkum is how Australians vouch for something: a fair dinkum bloke, a fair dinkum effort, a fair dinkum sausage roll.

Give it to someone who is exactly what they seem. They will know it’s a compliment.

Fair Dinkum mug: your questions answered

About this mug

What does fair dinkum mean?

Genuine or true. It's used to vouch for something or someone, as in "a fair dinkum Aussie".

What style is the Fair Dinkum design?

It's drawn like a vintage 1950s product label, with an oval badge, retro lettering and a small kangaroo.

Is this a good gift for an older relative?

Yes. The retro label look suits dads and grandparents who grew up with the saying.

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.
