L.L.Bean Made a Sweater for Your Dunkin’ Cup (And a Matching One for You, Too)
Plus, there’s a tiny L.L.Bean tote bag for carrying your coffee.
Nights are getting chillier and sunsets are getting earlier, which means autumn is upon us. Despite that, there are some among us (myself included) who will be still sipping our pumpkin spice coffee over ice. But this fall, diehard cold coffee drinkers won’t have to freeze their fingers as frigid temperatures settle in, thanks to a cute cup-sized collaboration between Dunkin’ and fellow iconic New England brand L.L.Bean.
What's the new Dunkin’ x L.L.Bean merch?
Fall just hits different in the Northeast, so Massachusetts-based Dunkin’ and L.L.Bean, headquartered in Maine, are teaming up to bring coffee lovers a few fall-forward experiences this autumn.
Starting with the smallest: The brands created a tiny bird's eye patterned sweater akin to larger ones L.L.Bean sells, but this one is for your iced coffee. It even has little sleeves (making us wish our Dunkin’ cup had arms to go in them). It has an official L.L.Bean patch on the “chest” and and comes in pink with orange accents. Similarly, L.L.Bean will be selling an actual Birdseye knit pattern sweater in Dunkin’ pink with orange accents flecked throughout.
Secondly, L.L.Bean is reimagining its classic canvas Boat and Tote bag in Dunkin’ colors and embroidered with Dunkin' and L.L.Bean logos. But if you can’t enough small swag for your coffee, they’re also making a miniature version of the tote — just the right size for carrying a Dunkin’ cup.
“L.L.Bean and Dunkin’ are iconic brands that have called New England home for decades,” Nick Wilkoff, chief marketing officer at L.L.Bean, says in a press release. “We wanted to create something that feels familiar and fun, bringing a touch of Dunkin’ to two L.L.Bean favorites that have been a part of people’s fall traditions for generations.”
How can you get the Dunkin’ x L.L. Bean collection?
Actually, you don’t need to buy one of those adorable cup sleeve sweaters, as they will be a giveaway on the official first day of fall, Tuesday, September 22. Just head to any Dunkin’ location and order any hot or iced coffee, and a cup-sized sweater will be included while supplies last.
If you want the human-sized sweater or the Boat and Tote, you’ll have to wait a little longer. The L.L.Bean x Dunkin’ apparel and tote bag collaboration will go live on National Coffee Day, Tuesday, September 29, at 10 a.m. ET on llbean.com/dunkin. The bird's eye sweater retails for $79.95, and the Boat and Tote for $59.95.
Lastly, you’ll only find the tiny coffee cup tote bag for $24.95 at dunkinrunsonmerch.com for a limited time (and while supplies last) beginning at 10 a.m. ET, also on September 29.
However, if you’re in the Boston area this weekend, you can heat to the L.L.Bean Seaport location from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Sunday, September 27 to grab a free coffee, much on some Munchkins, and shop the LL.Bean x Dunkin’ line. You also might spot the L.L.Bean Bootmobile (that’s a truck shaped like the classic Bean boot) decked out in Dunkin’ colors popping up at Dunkin’ locations between September 21 and September 29, handing out free food, drinks and gift cards. Certain Dunkin’ locations in Maine will be selling the small coffee totes in stores on September 29, too.
Finally, if you’re just looking for some free coffee, head to any Dunkin’ nationwide on September 29 for a National Coffee Day deal of one free medium regular hot or iced coffee with any purchase.
