Nutshell Coolers makes durable and sustainable coolers from coconut insulation that feature a lightweight and foldable design. 

Nutshell Coolers are stylish, foldable coolers made from coconuts. Our convenient, space-saving design is ready for all adventures, from backyard barbecues to cross-country roadtrips.

Nutshell was born in a fishing village in the Philippines, where optimism is contagious and resourcefulness is a way of life. What began as a graduate school project to improve local fish packaging became a business that’s improving lives and inspiring change from California to Lubang Island. 

Our upcycled insulation and recycled fabrics demonstrate that there's a better way to make outdoor products, and it starts with better materials.

Activities & Outdoor

Nutshell Coolers consistently works: reviewers say it keeps ice and food cold for long days while offering a stylish, sustainable alternative to bulky plastic coolers; reviews praise its attractive design and portability but note occasional bulkiness and limited carrying options. These reviews recommend Nutshell for picnics, beach days, and groceries when buyers value sustainability, aesthetics, and effective insulation, but caution smaller users about comfort and internal capacity for full picnic loads.
