I love coffee, I love tea
I love the java jive and it loves me...

There’s no denying the frisky fillip a shot of coffee induces, nor the historical impact it’s had on culture and commerce. Take the laid-back 1940 tune Java Jive; a paean to the aromatic brew, it evokes the wit and attitude of the times, and casually drops into the mix the colloquial slang for coffee, recognising the Indonesian island’s centuries-old trade in the bean. The Java collection’s streamlined Jazz Age styling reflects the period’s optimism, modernity and elegance, and the burgeoning café culture that persists to this day.
