Know before you buy
The needlepoint is crafted with high-quality French cotton thread, which is designed to withstand regular handling. While it is a decorative element, it is tightly stitched and intended for daily use in a home bar setting.
Yes, the opener features an integrated hidden magnet that allows it to attach securely to most magnetic surfaces, including refrigerators or magnetic wall strips.
This is a standard handheld opener designed to work effectively with all traditional crown-cap bottles, such as standard beer and soda bottles.
We recommend wiping the wooden handle with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid submerging the opener in water or using harsh cleaning agents, as moisture can damage the wood and the cotton stitching.
The solid wood handle is ergonomically sized at 4.25 inches long and 0.5 inches thick, providing a sturdy and comfortable grip for opening bottles with minimal effort.
