Our personal connection to the Skokie area comes through my husband Matt, who worked at Shure in neighboring Niles after graduating from Northern Arizona University. That season made the northern suburbs familiar to our family.

I created the Skokie Mug in collaboration with Sweet Reserve. It was especially interesting to learn about the community’s history, heritage, and deep cultural connections while choosing the details that would represent the town.

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

The Skokie mug is a hand-drawn Skokie, Illinois keepsake featuring Skokie Northshore Sculpture Park and Illinois Holocaust Museum. Find this local gift at Sweet Reserve.

The Skokie Mug is my little love letter to a place that holds so many memories.
Created by me, Ashley Ann , and available exclusively at Sweet Reserve Bakery Skokie.
Happy Valentine’s Day to the towns we love. 💗

When we set out to create The Skokie 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 Skokie 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 Skokie Mug as much as we do! It’s sure to be a family favorite!
