The Downers Grove Mug now has its own dedicated page on my website! ☕️ You can see the design and read the story behind it here:
https://artistashleyann.com/mug/downers-grove-il/

Downers Grove is where my mom grew up, and other members of my family lived there as well. Because I visited often while growing up, the community has long been part of my own family story.

I worked with Sarah, the previous owner of Mud and Char, to create the Downers Grove Mug. It was a fun collaboration as we chose the landmarks and local details that could tell the story of the community in one continuous drawing.

Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛

When we set out to create The Downers Grove Mug our aspiration was to make the BEST quality mug with ALL your favourite features for everyday use!

-A mug FULLY WRAPPED with artwork of the area, Ashley Ann’s detailed hand drawings of iconic Downers Grove images fully engulf all angles, to bring your morning cup of coffee to the next level. This isn’t your average logo mug.

-We went BIG, selecting a 15oz oversized mug.

-A mug with style and function, we landed on the latte style mug both for design aesthetic and functionality, it’s great for coffee, soup or late night ice cream!

-We chose quality product. This mug is solid, not only for durability to hold up well in the dishwasher and microwave but also because it insulates better keeping your coffee warmer.

-We thought through the experience, we wanted a curved lip on the top to give the smoothest drinking experience.

All of this came at a higher production cost but we knew it would be worth it, we wanted to put out the best possible mug we could. It’s not your average mug and is priced at $24.

We hope you love The Downers Grove Mug as much as we do! It’s sure to be a family favorite!
