We’ve been working with our friends at Acme, producers of hard-wearing, restaurant-quality tableware and coffee cups, to develop the Here mug. It’s based on their Union mug, inspired by the New Zealand Waterfront Union’s cafeteria mug from the 1950s – in a fetching shade of Weka (brown is the colour of 2025, after all).

‍

We’re giving away two mugs to every new print or print-and-digital subscriber this issue.* Just subscribe online, and we’ll do the rest.

‍

Print subscriptions to Here start from $14 every two months. And why not check out our digital subscriptions, featuring every story ever published in Here, on one beautiful website. We also sell books and our custom tote bags, which can be dispatched anywhere in Aotearoa or the world.
