[Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/shade-akanbi) collaborated with artist Steven Harrington to design and hand-craft its new collection of coffee mason jars.

Steven Harrington created the exclusive 60-piece collection that comes in a grande Starbucks cup size. The jars are all infused with Steven Harrington's personal style of cartoon illustrations that provide a quirky and playful west coast vibe. The collection includes illustrations of palm trees, colorful sunglasses, retro peace signs and animated faces. While the cartoons are bright and attractive they still leave space for the consumer to see their Cold Brew beverage through the glass.

These coffee mason jars were created in honor of the [Starbucks Cold Brew](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/muscat-grape-cold-brew) becoming part of the coffee shop's permanent menu. The typically rustic jars have been completely modernized to suit the Starbucks brand.
