The Proper Mug Shop® is a family-run boutique business based on the south coast of England, offering a unique collection of mugs. We are two brothers who believe that relatable humour and high quality don’t have to be mutually exclusive, and we’ve made it our mission to create proper mugs that tickle your fancy while standing the test of time.

Every design is developed in-house, combining original artwork, British humour, and kiln-fired decoration to create mugs that feel a little more special than your average gift-shop find. We’re passionate about producing mugs with character and quality, made to find their place in a larger story.

To us, a mug is the perfect go-to gift. Whether it’s tea, coffee, or even a cheeky bit of rum (we don’t judge!), it’s there for those much-needed moments and serves as a daily reminder of the message printed on it. Everyone deserves a proper mug, and let’s face it, everyone could do with a bit of joy in the morning.
