Know before you buy
The needlepoint is crafted using high-quality French cotton thread, which is designed to withstand regular handling. While it is a decorative element, it is tightly stitched and durable enough for consistent use in a home bar setting.
Yes, the hidden magnet is strong enough to keep the opener securely attached to most metallic surfaces like refrigerators or magnetic wall strips, making it easy to store and access.
The handle is made from solid wood and designed for durability, but it is best to wipe it dry if it comes into contact with condensation from cold bottles to maintain the finish and the integrity of the needlepoint inlay.
The opener measures 4.25 inches in length, 1.75 inches in width, and 0.5 inches in thickness. It is sized to fit comfortably in the palm of your hand while remaining compact enough for easy storage.
