In case you missed it, CHAGEE recently partnered with Tate, one of the most esteemed cultural institutions in the UK, for the launch of Apple English Breakfast Tea, CHAGEE’s newest apple-forward concoction. Considered by global CHAGEE fans as the tea brand’s artsiest collaboration to date, the partnership gave birth to the artsiest-looking cups and packaging, sending the local #crafttok world into creative frenzy. The result is an avalanche of creatively upcycled fashion and DIY projects from the crafty community.
Here are some of the craftiest and coolest DIY projects upcycled from CHAGEE’s limited-edition Apple English Breakfast Tea’s cup and packaging.
Clay and journal artist, @clari__q, turned the CHAGEE | Tate cooler bag into a journal cover, something she uses every day. As a self-professed resourceful queen, Clari did not just create a journal cover for herself, but also inspired her followers to return to their craft boards and start creating themselves.
Independent living content creator and upcycling enthusiast, @jo.macatulad celebrated the CHAGEE | Tate partnership by sewing her own Y2K-inspired shoulder bag from a CHAGEE cooler bag, featuring the art from Tate. From the pattern-cutting, sewing, and styling her own CHAGEE shoulder bag, Jo showed her followers that creativity hits differently with a good cup of your favorite milk tea.
Painter @leighlalap and journal artist @one.yna.million also joined the fun with their very own paint and sip afternoon at home as they painted their own CHAGEE cup sleeves, inspired by the timeless apple. Their followers commended the perfect pairing of the artsy creators with the equally artsy CHAGEE, joining forces to make something meaningful and crafty.
Artist @iinthesummer also tried her hand at CHAGEE’s paint and sip challenge, much to the celebration of her community who have been following her art journey. Her CHAGEE cup sleeve creation, featuring a monochrome painting of a woman and the timeless apple, showcased her love for the Apple English Breakfast Tea, which, as a certified CHAGEE lover, made sipping her favorite milk tea extra special.
Together, these projects show how the partnership with Tate extends beyond collectible merchandise. Rather than simply appreciating the limited-edition designs, creators found ways to personalize, reuse, and reinterpret them through their own artistic styles, inspiring others to do the same.
As conversations around mindful creativity and upcycling continue to grow, the CHAGEE | Tate partnership demonstrates how thoughtfully designed everyday objects can spark inspiration long after they’re first enjoyed. Through these creator-led interpretations, the partnership becomes more than a celebration of tea and art—it becomes an invitation to create meaningful moments of connection, one project at a time.
Who’s counting down the days for CHAGEE’s next major global collaboration? Until then, there’s still time to bring a little art into your everyday. Grab the limited-edition CHAGEE | Tate collection while supplies last, and let your next creative project begin with a cup of CHAGEE.
