A food writer unexpectedly adopts a Stanley All Day Julienne Midi Cooler as a summer bag. Initially planned for pool trips, it becomes her go-to purse during hot days. The bag allows for convenient storage of perishable groceries, phone, and essentials without worry of damage from heat. Compliments received at the grocery store further validate her choice. The cooler's design offers practical benefits over traditional leather handbags, making it ideal for summer outings with kids and preventing melting of cosmetics and snacks.
I figured I'd use it for my next trip to the pool or the park, and I left it sitting on my dining room table so I wouldn't forget it when the time came.
Minutes after walking into the grocery store a woman complimented my 'cute bag.' "Thanks, it's a cooler!" I chirped back—the handbag equivalent of bragging about a dress with pockets.
The Julienne Midi is such a practical summer bag because, unlike with the black leather purse I usually carry, I don't have to worry about my iPhone overheating or my lipstick or sunscreen stick melting.
I decided I'd keep using my cooler bag as my main handbag over the weekend because I didn't want their snacks—or the red lipstick I almost always have on me—to melt under the brutal late-June sun.
