The Merch Collection features bottles and drum bags which are dressed in bright yet subtle hues. The bottles come in three colorways, black, orange, and white while the drum bags come in black, deep green, and blue color palettes. The bottles all have branding in contrasting colors. The bag is composed of finely woven, shiny threaded nylon twill fabric and it repels water.

Both the bottle and the bag are original creations that have a coloring that includes PORTER and Starbucks brand color palettes. The recognizable black PORTER branding is stitched adjacent to the coffee brand's siren.

The unique design of the drum bag was influenced by coffee beans. The bottom has an oval shape similar to coffee beans. With a partition like the coffee beans, the interior of the drum bag is also split into two halves which makes it easier to insert a bottle. The bags are specifically made to accommodate Grande-sized bottles.

A 16-inch PC can also fit in the storage space along with the bottle. The bad is perfect for day getaways, going to the gym, or commuting to work. Two multi-pockets on the inside divider were created a bottle can be inserted with one hand. The bag is also ideal for keeping wallets and folding umbrellas.

In addition to this, the bags can also be used to hold additional small items like digital cameras, notebooks, wallets, smartphones, and other necessary things. With the help of the strap, it can also be carried as a shoulder bag. A vibrant green carabiner adds flair to the design.

The collection will be available to buy via online Starbucks shops on June 21, 2023. The Merch collection will be also exclusively available offline via in-store shops at Starbucks Reserve(R) Roastery Tokyo. A pop-up event will take place between June 21, 2023, to June 30, 2023, especially at PORTER TOKYO and PORTER OMOTESANDO.
