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.

My mom got a Nutshell cooler from a Thingdrop and we used it last week on a trip to the river. It is truly a great cooler. Firstly, I am so used to ugly white coolers and this is not that. It looks like a chic bag! Also you can tell it is made really well and kept our food and drink completely chilled. Would highly recommend if you are in the market!

I got a nutshell cooler through thingdrop and absolutely love it. It is so easy to pull out and use. It also  flattens nicely for storage. I love that it has a liner for cleaning; it's much easier to clean than those big old plastic coolers. Most of all I love how attractive and sustainable it is. The coconut insulation is light and I feel so much better not lugging around a big plastic box. Instead I get to use this lovely turquoise cloth cooler made from sustainable materials.

This cooler is so great! I loaded it up and took it on a long road trip and it kept everything cool! The sleek design, and sustainability of the company and item are what impress me a lot. It can be bulky however this is just like hard rigid coolers. I am looking forward to using my cooler more for traveling, boat and beach days! 

Best Cooler EVER!!! This cooler totally rocks! I've taken it picknicking, car camping, fishing and pack rafting - it keeps everything SUPER COOL! I went with the verde island color and it's even prettier in-person than the in pictures! I gifted the dark blue one to my brother who also uses it all the time with his family of three in California. I would 100% recommend this product to anyone who wants an eco-conscientious cooler that works super well, looks awesome and stores easily! FIVE STARS!!!

This is a really cool innovative cooler, it looks like they intentionally made it compatible with the Tesla Frunk because it fits inside perfectly. Our nutshell cooler lives in the frunk and is used for keeping groceries & baby food cold. Very durable and easy to take with you. Highly recommend this lightweight cooler! 

I love this cooler. I needed one, chose this for their mission, design and good reviews, and I was amazed by its performance!! I bought a second one (different color!) to keep at my parents for the long hot days there! 

I am so grateful for purchasing this as a ThingDrop because I do find the price to be high, AND, it makes sense why... because it's really really COOL* - First, it's so easy to put together, and then to breakdown because of the design, and cleaning it, is a breeze and stores away even easier. It's truly beautiful quality and made - looks so nice, too. I get excited to take this cooler out, and feel proud!

This cooler was made SO with so much intention. My absolutely favorite feature is how compact it is. Living in NYC we have such little space for storage and this packs down great. It is well built, looks great, and perfect for park trips and camping. Great to have in the car too. Would recommend. 

I've used my Nutshell Cooler twice now since purchasing it as a Thingdrop and I've had a great experience so far. The product design is super innovative and it looks and feels really high quality. 

I have two pieces of feedback:
1. It's a bit bulky and uncomfortable to carry (I'm 5'0) and the only carrying option is with the shoulder strap. 

2. I think it would work best as a drink-only cooler, but since I've been using it for picnics, I've had to get creative in order to comfortably fit everything in there. 

Overall, I'm very satisfied with the purchase and am excited for future picnics!

I love this cooler!!! It is stylish, is made of incredibly sustainable materials, and keeps things icy cold. 
Win, win, win. Thanks, Nutshell! (side note, it seems very durable, too)
