Moomin Summer Mugs Collection

Over the years Arabia has released many different limited edition mugs to go along with the normal collection. These mugs are only available for a limited time and in some cases are very rare. The annual summer mug made it first appearance in 2006. Every year since we have had a new summer mug.

Looking back over the summer mugs from the last 10 years, you can see that they have followed a similar design. The first six years all have a distinct strip pattern. The last four years have seen the mugs take on a half blue/half yellow design. Does that mean we have two more similiar summer mugs coming or will Arabia surprise with something entirely new next year? Only time will tell :)
