A Lombard Mug for Sweet Reserve's Community

A local shop collaboration brings Lombard's details into an everyday coffee ritual.

Sweet Reserve's customers were the audience for this hometown design. I wanted the drawing to reward a closer look when the mug is on a table, with familiar Lombard elements doing more work than a printed town name could.

A gift idea with a real place behind it

For the person who returns to Lombard whenever they can, the mug can mark a familiar stop. Find Lilacia Park and Maple Street Chapel together in the drawing; then pair the gift with a note about the next visit you hope to share.
