FAQ
Absolutely. Bati leather is treated with organic tannins and mink oil, making it naturally water-resistant. If the cooler gets splashed or rained on, simply let it dry out naturally and apply mink oil afterward to keep the leather conditioned and looking its best. You don’t need to baby it – it’s built for real outdoor use.
The La Playa is designed to keep drinks cold for days, making it ideal for full beach days, overnight camping trips, or multi-day outdoor events. Performance will vary depending on ambient temperature, how often the lid is opened, and the amount of ice used, but it is built for serious cold retention.
Apply mink oil to a microfiber cloth or glove and massage it evenly into the leather as needed. This keeps the leather supple, deepens its tone, and helps develop a beautiful natural patina over time. For spills, treat promptly with a damp cloth. For stubborn stains, rub with lemon juice, rinse, and condition the area afterward.

Vaquetta leather is a full-grain, vegetable-tanned leather traditionally used in Latin American leatherworking. It is known for its durability, natural texture, and ability to develop a rich patina with use and conditioning. Bati sources natural vaquetta and crafts each piece by hand in Paraguay, making every cooler slightly unique.
