This year J Style turns 18 years old. About time they start behaving like adults… but the products that are getting the most attention this year are the company’s expanding range of licensed Disney, Marvel and Star Wars ceramic tea wares and coffee mugs.
It is increasingly obvious that the buyers of licensed cartoon and comic book character goods are not buying them for children. In the past, customers may have paused at buying a beautiful ceramic Mrs Potts teapot because the children might break it. These days adult fans of Beauty & the Beast are buying the iconic tea set for themselves.
Having grown up with classic Disney characters like Dumbo, the Genie from Aladdin, or the original Star Wars characters, adults are buying tea sets and cups that have that little bit of fun, wrapped up in nostalgia for the characters.
The movie makers have certainly caught onto this wave with new Star Wars and Marvel movies coming out regularly, and more remakes of classic Disney movies on the cards. A new Dumbo movie is due to be released in 2019, along with Toy Story 4, and Star Wars Episode IX. Deadpool 2, Han Solo and the Avengers have recently stormed up the box office charts too. There is no stopping the appetite for these characters.
J Style is the Australian distributor of a fantastic range of licensed ceramic products that let you take the characters you love home and use them day to day. Whether it is a special mug for the office, or a teapot for a genuine Mad Hatter’s Tea Party, being practical dinnerware gives them a usefulness beyond just a collectable item. Something that appeals to gift buyers who may love a character but be hesitant to buy something that is purely decorative.
With the popularity of these products booming, J Style is now allowing buyers to pre-order items before they arrive in Australia. The new functionality will be on the company’s website soon, so you can order the latest licensed products before they arrive in the country or anyone sees them at a trade fair.
Retail prices range from $29.95 to $72.95.
J Style will be at the AGHA Melbourne Gift Fair (4-8 August), Stand AB43.
