Celebrate the unmatched satisfaction of building something yourself. Our "Built Not Bought" Ceramic Mug honours the pride of garage projects, showing off navy blue typography on one side and a detailed graphic of a mechanic working on a car engine on the other.

The high-definition, fade-resistant wrap-around artwork is paired with a premium white ceramic body and a beautiful light blue handle and interior lining. This striking two-tone finish adds a modern touch to your workshop table, and the coloured interior helps everyday tea and coffee marks appear less noticeable.

Hand-pressed to order by our family-run UK studio, this durable coffee cup is the perfect garage companion for coffee breaks between modifications, track days, or early morning drives.
