The new lifestyle collection will be available online, as well as in selected Huggs’ Coffee cafes across Singapore and the retail shops at the precinct of Mandai Wildlife Reserve, home of Singapore Zoo, Night Safari and River Wonders.

Sun Bear Tumbler – $29.00

The bear, Huggs’ corporate icon, is also an inspiration behind the collection that shares the plight of the Malayan Sun Bear species, which is listed as “Vulnerable” under the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species.
Mandai Wildlife Group cares for the species in its zoological parks and supports an NGO in the region which works with government partners to rescue, rehabilitate and protect vulnerable bear species in Southeast Asia. This includes the Asiatic Black Bear and Malayan Sun Bear which are threatened by poaching and illegal trade.
Under the collaboration, selected items from the Group’s Wildlife Sanctuary collection are also available at select Huggs outlets where every purchase contributes to wildlife conservation. In natural and earthy tones, the Wildlife Sanctuary collection features motifs of the animals from Singapore Zoo and River Wonders.
