Details

You've done it before. Arrived at the picnic with everything looking considered — the blanket, the basket, the glassware — and then that esky. Clunky. Plastic. Completely out of place.

You've tried the alternatives. The tote bags aren't cold enough. The hard eskies are too heavy. The rugged coolers are too ugly. And the novelty wine carriers, let's not.

There wasn't a cooler designed for the way you actually pack for a day out.

Until now.

Meet Drift Sand. Understated, effortless, and the neutral that goes with everything — and still gets noticed.

The Sunza Original is a 28L insulated cooler backpack that keeps drinks genuinely cold and looks good doing it. Not camping gear. Not rugged. Not shaped like a box you'd rather leave in the car.

Structured enough to carry wine upright. Soft enough to wear comfortably on your back. Finished with premium vegan leather accents and gold hardware — it's the kind of bag people ask about at picnics.

She arrives in her own dust bag. Ready to gift, or keep.

Cool, neutral, and effortlessly considered. Drift Sand is our most versatile colourway — the one that goes with everything.

Keeps drinks cold for hours.

Sits upright so your bottles never roll.

Carries hands-free so you can focus on the moment, not the gear.

Finished with premium vegan leather accents and gold hardware. Arrives in her own dust bag, ready to gift or keep. No bulky esky. No compromise. Just cold drinks and compliments.

Product Dimensions

53cm H × 43cm W × 20cm D | 28 Litres

What fits inside:

Fits 2–3 wine or champagne bottles upright, no rolling, no digging through ice. Designed for use with ice packs, though loose ice works perfectly too as long as she stays upright.

Pack in food containers, water bottles, cheese, fruit, crackers, and all the little extras that make an afternoon feel considered.

And because she carries on your back, your hands stay free, whether you're wrangling kids, carrying a picnic blanket, or just making it from the car to the beach without a second trip.

Materials

Outer: 600D Oxford canvas with white PVC backing — durable, structured, and built for outdoor use.

Handles & Straps: Premium vegan leather — soft, structured, and wipes clean easily.

Insulation: Four-Layer Cold-Lock Construction — Oxford canvas + PVC moisture barrier + 8mm foam core + seamless PEVA lining.

Hardware: Gold zips, purse feet, padded backpack straps. Eco-conscious materials where possible.

Care Instructions

Spot clean the exterior with a damp microfibre cloth and a little mild dish soap — wipe softly with the grain. Give the purse feet and base a quick wipe after beach or outdoor use to keep them looking their best. After use with ice, wipe the interior out, leave her open to air dry fully in the shade before storing. Keep sharp objects like corkscrews and cutlery out of the cooler. Don't machine wash, tumble dry, or submerge in water. Once dry, store back in her dust bag with zip open.

Gift-ready from the moment it arrives. The gift she'll actually use every weekend.

For women who refuse to choose between style and function

Beach days where you actually want to arrive looking put-together. Sunset picnics on the grass with a cold glass already poured. Long lunches where you didn't have to fight over esky space.

The Sunza Original is for women who want their gear to work as hard as they do — without looking like it.

Take her to the beach. The backyard. The sunset picnic. The birthday catch-up. She fits in everywhere — and so do you.

Made by someone who was over the esky too.

Sunza was founded by Leeha — an Australian woman who was tired of sharing her husband's esky at every beach day and picnic. She wanted something that kept things properly cold, carried comfortably, and actually looked like it belonged on the picnic blanket.

So she made it.

Reviews

Before launch, we sent the Sunza Original to a small circle of women we trust. Here's what they said.

Does exactly what I hoped

"I’ve used this so much more than I expected. It keeps everything cold, it’s easy to carry, and it doesn’t look like a cooler. I grab it whenever we’re heading out."

- Emma, NSW

Easy, practical, and good looking

“I love that it’s practical without being ugly. Everything stays chilled and I don’t feel like I’m lugging around something bulky. It’s just an easy thing to own.”

- Sarah, VIC

Easy to take anywhere

“I’ve used this for picnics, beach days and general outings. No warm drinks, no extra bags. It just makes things simpler.”

- Kate, QLD

Love it! No more fighting for eski space

“This has saved a lot of back-and-forth over eski space. I pack what I need, everything stays cold, and we’re good to go.”

- Amy, NSW

Sunza Original Cooler Bag FAQs

We’ve Got You Covered

Will it fit champagne bottles upright?

Yes. The Sunza Cooler Backpack comfortably fits most standard wine and champagne bottles. The structured interior gives you enough height and space without feeling bulky on your back.

How long does it keep things cold?

Our premium insulation keeps drinks chilled for hours when packed with an ice pack and chilled bottles. For best results, start with cold contents and keep the bag zipped when not in use — no warm wine, no stress.

Can I wash it?

The interior lining can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth.

For the exterior, use a soft microfibre cloth with a small amount of diluted dishwashing liquid. Gently wipe with the grain of the fabric to maintain its structure and finish.

It’s designed to look beautiful — and stay that way.

Can I use it for things other than wine?

Absolutely. While it’s perfect for wine and champagne, it also works beautifully for sparkling water, soft drinks, picnic essentials, or even a small cheese board and snacks. Multi-use by design.

Is it good for gifting?

A gift they’ll actually use — and love. Beautiful, practical, and ready to give. Every Sunza arrives in her own luxe dust bag, making it effortless to send directly as a thoughtful surprise. Ideal for birthdays, housewarmings, bridesmaids, and women who appreciate both style and practicality.
