Designed in collaboration with Japanese drinkware brand Rivers, this off white Carhartt Awful Rivers General Mug is made from high quality porcelain and features printed illustrated designs on either side. Measuring to 10 x 8 x 9cm, this design is dishwasher and microwave safe and can hold up to 280ml in capacity with a distinctive handle shape that adds extra character. Printed in black for a stand out look, the front and reverse designs show a detective character wearing a Carhartt hat reading a newspaper with a title reading ‘everything is awful’. Below this ‘Carhartt Work In Progress’ has been added and on the other side the design has been reversed for a mirror-style effect.

Based in Tokyo, Rivers Drinkware is known for its focus on specialist coffee products such as cups, flasks and outdoor related items. Executed with a certain finesse that has gained them a strong following from those seeking refined and sophisticated drinkware solutions, this cup design demonstrates a perfect partnership between two brands that aim to achieve high quality finishes and take inspiration from a variety of traditions and outdoor pursuits.
