Know before you buy
Yes, the needlepoint is crafted with high-quality French cotton thread and set into a solid wood handle, making it designed to withstand frequent handling while maintaining its aesthetic.
The integrated magnet is strong enough to securely hold the bottle opener against a refrigerator or a magnetic bar strip, ensuring it stays in place when not in use.
Absolutely. The opener features a standard handheld design that is compatible with all traditional crown-cap beer and soda bottles.
Because the handle features hand-stitched needlepoint, it is best to spot clean it gently with a slightly damp cloth. Avoid submerging the wood or the needlepoint in water to preserve the integrity of the materials.
The opener measures 4.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, providing a substantial, comfortable grip for opening bottles.
