Starbucks S'well Kelsey Montague Siren Mermaid Stainless Travel Water Bottle 17 ounces
The Kelsey Montague S'well for Starbucks limited edition line was released in 2017. This collaborative product line was a year in the making. Starbucks partnered with celebrated street artist Kelsey Montague who introduced four different 17 ounce S'well bottles featuring her designs: two incorporating a wing into the design, a cityscape, and this mod 70's print. This is a new unused bottle from the collection featuring Starbucks' iconic Siren in black, white, and turquoise. The label on the bottom is a little worn from storage as shown in the photo and there is no hang tag.
Each of the bottles in Starbucks' newest S'well collection is adorned with a pen and ink drawing inspired by water. According to Montague, "My goal with this collection was to create designs that feel organic, whimsical, and inspiring, while drawing hue inspiration from water." In addition to her water-themed designs, the bottles also feature Montague's hashtag #WhatLiftsYou, which the artist uses to sign all of her murals. The hashtag, which is meant to encourage people to "share what is most meaningful in their lives,".
After studying art in Florence, and graduating from Richmond University in London with a degree in Art, Design & Media, Kelsey Montague spent four years in New York City, embracing and battling the Big Apple while developing a unique pen and ink style. She is an artist that is very interested in exploring how public art, interactive art and social media intersect. She is renowned for her murals which specifically invite people into the artwork and then invite people to share their experience online. She believes that art should not be separated from the human experience. Instead the human experience should have a hand in creating the art itself.
