Designed in France, printed in the EU, the US or Canada, whichever is closest to you.
Both mugs and ornaments are high-quality ceramic and printed via sublimation, which bonds the artwork permanently into the surface.
- Mugs: Built for everyday use; normal dishwasher and microwave use is fine.
- Ornaments: Also sublimated and very durable. They’re keepsakes—not meant for microwaves or dishwashers—but with ordinary care they’ll last for decades.
