The Story Behind Cornishmug.com
Let’s get one thing straight…
Yes, I sell mugs.
But no, I didn’t wake up one morning and think, “You know what the world needs? More mugs.”
This started a bit differently.
I live down here in Cornwall, surrounded by sea air, pasties, and the kind of views that make you stop mid-sip and think, “Yeah… this’ll do.” Somewhere between too many cups of coffee and not enough sensible ideas, Cornishmug was born.
Now here’s the thing—calling it “Cornish Drinking Containers” just didn’t have the same ring to it, did it?
And besides… I’m Cornish… and if I’m honest… I can be a bit of a mug.
So, Cornishmug it is.
But this isn’t just about mugs.
It’s about personality.
It’s about designs that actually say something.
It’s about picking something up in the morning that makes you smirk, laugh, or question your life choices before your first coffee kicks in.
Every design you see here has been created by me—usually with a brew in hand and an idea that probably should’ve been ignored. I do get a bit of help from an AI mate of mine (he’s alright, doesn’t drink much), but every concept, every bit of attitude, every questionable joke… that’s all me.
And the big one—nothing here is copy-paste rubbish.
Every design is original. Properly original.
No nicked ideas. No lazy repeats. No “seen it somewhere before” nonsense.
Just unique designs, made to stand out whether they’re on ceramic mugs, travel cups, or anything else you fancy drinking from.
So if you’re after something a bit different…
Something with a bit of character…
Or just a mug that matches your personality (slightly sarcastic, mildly unhinged, but overall a good time)…
You’re in the right place.
