Know before you buy
Yes, the needlepoint is crafted with durable French cotton thread. While it is designed for regular use, it is best to keep it away from moisture and sticky spills to maintain the integrity of the stitching.
The hidden magnet is designed to hold the weight of the bottle opener securely against a refrigerator door or any magnetic metal surface for convenient storage.
To clean the needlepoint, gently spot clean with a damp cloth or a soft brush. Avoid submerging the wooden handle or the needlepoint in water, as this is not dishwasher safe.
This is a standard handheld opener designed specifically for traditional crown-cap beer bottles. It may not be compatible with twist-off caps or other specialty bottle closures.
The bottle opener measures 4.25 inches long, 1.75 inches wide, and 0.5 inches thick, making it a compact size that fits comfortably in your hand.
