# Historically Inspired Tea Cups This New visvim Cup Stylishly Honors the Streetwear Label's Roots By Riley von Niessen | Published 2016-11-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-visvim References: [hypebeast](http://hypebeast.com/2016/11/visvim-cup-saucer) & [visvim](http://www.visvim.tv/news/release/16112912.html) visvim is a Japanese streetwear label that's known for its high-quality products -- something that's maintained in the new [visvim cup and saucer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jw-anderson-and-wedgwood) as well. Different from its usual offerings, the glassware features a series of elegant designs -- which draw from "Western and Eastern motifs." As HYPEBEAST reports, this inspires much of the brand's apparel and footwear as well. In addition to the new visvim cup, a [unique coffee dripper](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tea-for-two-collection) was released, which was "made by a 150-year-old [kutani-yaki pottery atelier](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kintsugi-collection)." Those looking to purchase the products can find them at visvim flagship stores only. This gives the unordinary release an even more exclusive feel -- allowing the brand's fans to show their appreciation for its craftsmanship in a new way. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Historically-inspired Designs:** Explore incorporating historical design elements into modern products to create a unique aesthetic - **Limited Edition Flagship Store Releases:** Consider releasing exclusive products only through flagship stores as a way to create a sense of rarity and increase brand loyalty - **Collaborations with Traditional Craftsmen:** Partner with artisans or craftsmen to create unique, high-quality products that blend traditional and modern styles ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Incorporate historically-inspired designs into clothing and accessories for a unique and eye-catching aesthetic - **Home Goods:** Collaborate with traditional craftsmen to create limited edition glassware and ceramics inspired by historical designs - **Luxury Goods:** Create limited edition products exclusively available at flagship stores to create a sense of exclusivity and increase brand loyalty ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Landmark-Inspired Glass Mugs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-mount-fuji-glass-mug.md) - [Collaboration Street Style Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stanley-x-frgmt-collection.md) - [Modular Porcelain Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corcelain.md) - [High-End Ceramic Japanese Teapots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/japanese-drinkware.md) - [Dusk Floral Coffee Carriers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sakura-drinkware-collection.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Cup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-era-3.md) - [Chinese Restaurant-Inspired Tablewares](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/freshservice-fresh-drink-service.md) - [Sustainable Upcycled Glass Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hmm-design.md) - [Wabi-Sabi-Informed Green Glassware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-glassware.md)
