Know before you buy
No, this cooler is specifically designed for standard 12 oz cans. It will not provide a secure fit for slim-style cans or glass bottles.
Because of the delicate hand-stitched needlepoint and full-grain leather, this item is not dishwasher safe. We recommend spot cleaning the exterior gently with a soft, dry cloth if needed.
No, the neoprene liner is integrated into the construction of the cooler to provide insulation. It is not designed to be removed.
The exterior is crafted from full-grain Italian leather, which is durable and develops a nice character over time. You can use a high-quality leather conditioner occasionally to keep the material supple, but avoid getting the needlepoint area wet.
No, this cooler is constructed with a structured design and is not collapsible. It maintains its shape even when not in use.
