Know before you buy
This cooler is specifically designed for standard 12 oz cans. It may not provide a secure fit for slim cans, tall boys, or glass bottles.
Because of the delicate hand-stitched needlepoint and full-grain leather, you should spot clean the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging the cooler in water or using harsh cleaning chemicals.
No, this cooler is not collapsible. It maintains a structured, rigid shape due to the premium Italian leather construction.
You can add a custom touch to your cooler through the personalization options provided at checkout. This allows for unique initials or text to be added to the design, making it a great gift or a distinct personal accessory.
The neoprene liner provides insulation to help maintain your beverage's temperature while you drink. While it is excellent for preventing condensation and keeping your hands dry, it is intended for immediate consumption rather than long-term cold storage.
