Chino Club is the brainchild of the imaginative Milenka Donohoe. With a heart set on sustainability and a flair for design, Milenka crafts delightful reusable chino cups that have become a staple in local cafes like Macs Beach Cafe, Like Minds Cafe & Social Junction Cafe in Avoca, The Cacti Folk Long Jetty, Burnt Honey Bakery, and more.

The journey of Chino Club began six years ago, during a family road trip where Milenka, a mother of three, recognised a void in the market for reusable baby chino cups. Drawing from her 15 years of experience in product design and manufacturing, she embarked on a mission to create practical, whimsical, and eco-conscious cups for kids. What started as a solution for her own family soon blossomed into a community-driven endeavour, with an ever-expanding collection of cup illustrations and sizes that cater to friends and families alike.

Milenka hints at the forthcoming expansion of the range, teasing the arrival of smoothie cups and other innovative products in the months to come.
