Personalize your morning coffee with a stylish handmade cozy instead of using a generic paper sleeve. Corsets are fun and fashionable, and putting one on your cup will make a statement. Post stitches make up the “boning” while the ribbon can be swapped out and adjusted to fit your mood and your cup.
