Just in time for the bridge between picnicking and tailgating season, I spotted these beautiful leather-clad coolers, thermoses, and ice buckets at Sag Harbor's new home decor store, Monc XIII. I love the way that Spanish company Sol y Luna took an everyday, ugly object (the basic cooler) and elevated it into something truly special.
The company hand-stitches all of its products (there's even a leather-wrapped wheelbarrow!), and most come in two rich brown shades. Wouldn't they make perfect housewarming or newlywed gifts?

Those are beautiful and perfect for a glamping trip! They would make a great anniversary gift for my husband.

I have never seen a leather cooler before, that would definitely make a brilliant present, it's so original.
