Supreme recently released a collection of eating utensils that include a [branded pair of chopsticks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshservice-fresh-drink-service), a bowl and a sake set. These new additions to the brand's Fall/Winter 2017 collection boast the brand's iconic red color, alongside more traditional Asian-inspired patterns.

Previously, Supreme has also released branded biking gloves, bricks, jigsaw puzzles and even NYC MetroCards. Some of the other seemingly Millennial-targeted miscellaneous items that are also being introduced alongside the [Asian-inspired eating utensils](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panda-express-x-uprisers-cozy-collection) include a welcome mat, a varsity jacket and [US banknotes protected in lucite cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banknote-stool).

Merchandise from Supreme tends to sell out incredibly quickly, making many of its items collector's pieces that consumers will want to act fast if they want to purchase a product from the brand itself rather than a reseller.
