Some bags wait for a special occasion. Drift Sand does the everyday beautifully.
The Sunza Original Cooler Backpack in Drift Sand is soft, sun-bleached and easy to take anywhere. She works with linen, activewear, picnic rugs, school run clothes and the Monday morning dash. The neutral that looks pulled together, even when the day is anything but.
Designed for the days that don’t fit neatly into one plan, she carries food, drinks, swimmers, sunscreen, snacks and all the little extras that somehow come with leaving the house. School run, Saturday sideline, farmers market, backyard BBQ. She’s the one you grab without thinking.
Inside, four-layer insulation keeps everything cold for up to 8 hours with ice or ice bricks, while the removable divider helps bottles stay upright and gives you flexible space for lunchboxes, fruit, towels or wet swimmers. The wide roll-top opening makes it easy to grab what you need without unpacking the whole bag.
Padded backpack straps keep both hands free, and the wipe-clean food-grade lining sorts spills, crumbs and sticky fingers in seconds. Finished with gold metal zips, vegan leather details and a branded dust bag, she’s practical where it counts and polished enough to take anywhere.
The cooler backpack you’ll reach for every day, in the neutral that never asks what you’re wearing.
The details
What’s included
Outside: Spot clean the water-repellent Oxford fabric with a soft cloth and mild dishwashing liquid.
Inside: Wipe the food-grade PEVA lining clean after use. Use ice packs for best cooling results, and keep sharp objects away from the lining.
Drying: Remove the divider and base insert. Air dry everything fully in the shade. Don't machine wash, tumble dry, soak or submerge.
Storage: Store clean and dry in a cool place, with the zip open.

Customers keep telling us the same thing. She gets bought for one job, then takes on the rest. Pilates gear and the groceries. Half-time fruit for the under 9s. A night away on the Gold Coast.

43 cm tall rolled closed, 43 cm wide at the top, 28 cm at the base and 20 cm deep. She holds 28 litres and weighs 1 kg empty.
Up to 8 hours with ice packs. How long you actually get depends on how hot the day is, how full she is and how often she's opened. A full bag holds the cold better than a half-empty one.
Yes. Every bag ships in its own branded dust bag, so there's nothing to wrap. Hand her over as she arrives.
Yes. The lining holds water, so loose ice is fine. Keep her upright once it starts to melt, because the roll-top isn't sealed. Pour it off and wipe the lining dry before she goes away. Ice packs are the easier option.
No. The outside is water-repellent fabric, so a splash or a damp towel is fine, but she isn't made to sit in the rain or be submerged. Inside, the lining holds melted ice as long as she stays upright.
Padded backpack straps put the weight on your back, not one arm, so both hands stay free for kids, towels and everything else.
Highly recommend this cooler. It is so versatile. My favourite thing is the back pack feature - no more struggling to carry heavy loads off one arm. 😄
Thank you so much for the kind words! That one-arm struggle is exactly what we set out to fix, so it's lovely to hear the backpack straps are your favourite part. Enjoy her! Leeha x
We use our Sunza cooler bag all the time! It’s spacious, keeps everything cold, is easy to carry and looks gorgeous. Perfect for beach days, picnics, BBQs and kids’ sleepovers. Highly recommend!
Hi Eleanor, thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear you're enjoying your Sunza Cooler. Perfect for all your adventures! 😊 Thanks for your beautiful photos as well! - Leeha x
Great bag, really happy with it!
Delivery was super quick, which was a nice bonus. We've already taken it on a few outings, including our son's soccer game on the weekend where it was our turn to bring half time fruit for the team. Everything fit in easily; fruit, snacks and a few drink bottles, with room to spare.
Also loved the bonus tumbler that came with it. Now we're just trying to work out whose turn it is to use it next!
Hi Paul! We're so glad you're happy with your Sunza Cooler Backpack and that it’s been perfect for outings. Enjoy sharing the tumbler, and thanks for your wonderful review! - Leeha x
I thought I’d only pull this out every so often but i actually use it all the time. It’s bigger than I expected and super practical. I’ve used it to carry my Pilates gear and also groceries. Love it!
Ah this made my day, Sandy! So glad she's turned out to be such a keeper. Thank you, and thanks for the pic! Leeha x
I was honestly so surprised to finally find a cooler that didn’t look like it belonged on a camping trip! Even some of the really expensive ones just don’t feel feminine at all. This actually feels like a proper bag, which i love. I've used it for wine, beach days, picnics, even just carrying drinks and snacks around and it just works for everything. It won't just get used in summer which I think is great.
Lisa, this is exactly why we made it! The coolers that look like they belong in a camping gear shed drove us crazy too. So glad it's working across all of it everyday. Thank you for this!
I use this for literally everything now 😅 got it for wine (obviously) but i’ve taken it to the beach, picnics, even just out to dinner when I’m bringing a bottle. It fits way more than it looks like it would and doesn’t feel bulky at all. Looks like a normal bag too so not carrying around some ugly cooler lol. Just easy, grab it and go kinda thing.
This made our day
The Sunza Original was designed to be that go-everywhere, do-everything piece - so hearing how you’re using it beyond just wine (beach, picnics, dinners… all of it) is exactly what we hoped for. And I’m so glad the whole experience felt easy from order to unboxing because that part matters just as much to us.
Thank you for sharing, it really means a lot ✨
Obsessed!!
I just had my 2 bags delivered (as gifts for my 2 adult daughters). I really want to call out the thoughtfulness of women in the design. The straps are padded. Light and durable. The bag cloth protector is a wonderful addition to keep it looking schmik . I got the Drift sand and Seafoam - which are true to the website colours. My first impression was - this is a beautiful bag. Very elegant, and then as I had a play, I love the section for my phone and keys, the zipper to keep the coolness locked in, the adjustable dividers.
I’m actually looking forward to seeing what else comes out in the collection.
Well done Sunza!!
Thank you for this, it genuinely made our day. Buying two so your daughters each have one is exactly the kind of gifting this bag was made for. Thank you for calling out the details that matter most to us: the padded straps, the cloth protector, the dividers. We obsess over those things, so it means everything to hear they landed. So glad Drift Sand and Seafoam are treating you well. We have more in the works, so stay close. Welcome to the Collective!
Took this to a friend’s BBQ recently and it was perfect because it kept everything chilled and looked so pretty. It even came in a beautiful dust bag, which made it feel extra special from the start.
A friend's BBQ is exactly where this bag belongs. So glad it kept everything chilled and felt special from the start. Thank you for sharing the photos too, they made us smile. Hope it comes to many more good days.
I originally bought this as a wine cooler, but it’s become my go to for everything. I recently took it to an indoor play centre packed with all the kids’ essentials, snacks, wipes, spare clothes, and it handled it all so easily. It looks so stylish, no one would guess it’s actually a cooler. I
We love that it's become your go-to for everything, not just wine! An indoor play centre packed with kids' essentials is honestly such a good use of it. And that last line... 'no one would guess it's actually a cooler' is exactly what we were going for. Thank you Julia!
I mainly got it for wine but ended up using it for everything. Snacks, drinks, even kids stuff. It’s just really practical.
That's exactly it, Emily! It starts as a wine bag and somehow ends up carrying everything. So glad it's proving itself useful beyond just the good stuff. Thanks for sharing the photo too, Sunset Blush looks beautiful!
Such a beautiful design. You can really tell a lot of thought has gone into every detail - from the shape to the finishes. It feels genuinely premium.
What I love most is that it doesn’t have that “blokey” look you see with a lot of the other premium cooler brands. This actually feels feminine without losing any of the functionality. I can take it to the beach, the park, or even a picnic with friends and it just fits in. It’s one of those pieces that feels stylish, without trying too hard.
The word 'blokey' made us laugh because that was exactly the problem we set out to solve! Feminine without losing any of the functionality is genuinely what we were going for, so it means a lot to hear it landed that way. Thank you for taking the time to share this, and for the beautiful photos too. Drift Sand is such a good one.
Really love the look and the insulation is great - everything stayed cold all afternoon. I do wish it had one or two more pockets, but overall I’m really happy with it.
So glad the insulation delivered, Mel! Everything cold all afternoon is exactly what we want to hear. The pocket feedback is really useful and honestly something we're keeping in mind as we develop new styles. Thanks for sharing the photo and for the kind words overall!
Love this bag! It was given to me as a birthday gift and I was genuinely surprised when I pulled it out of the beautiful dust bag. It's actually so versatile and doesn't need to be just used as a cooler. I've taken it to the beach with the kids, to a friends backyard bbq and used it for the shopping. The thing I love the most...it doesn't scream COOLER and I get compliments everywhere I go. I was also really impressed at how long it kept our drinks and snacks cold.
What a lovely birthday gift! We love that the dust bag made the unboxing feel special, that detail matters to us. And 'it doesn't scream COOLER' might be our favourite thing anyone has ever said about it. Beach, BBQ, shopping, and compliments everywhere... sounds like Seafoam Mist is pulling its weight! Thank you Vanessa.
This product has honestly become my everyday essential. It’s incredibly useful – it keeps everything I need in one place, so I’m not constantly digging around, juggling multiple bags or carrying a super heavy bag on one arm. I take it everywhere with me, from work days to weekends, and it has never let me down. It somehow manages to fit everything while still feeling compact and easy to carry, which is such a game changer. I genuinely think everyone should have one of these in their life – once you start using it, you won’t understand how you managed without it.
Everyday essential... we'll take that! Work days to weekends and it hasn't let you down once, that's exactly what we designed it to do. And those photos are gorgeous, Seafoam Mist clearly travels well! Thank you so much for sharing all of this, it genuinely means a lot to see it out in the world like that.
Such a great cooler backpack! I use it for wine, snacks, and the kids’ drinks whenever we head out. It’s practical, easy to carry, and looks so much nicer than a regular cooler bag. Really happy with the tumbler too.
I’ve even added this to my go-to gift ideas for the family and friends who already seem to have ‘everything’!
The gift for people who have everything... we absolutely love that! So glad it's earning its place as a go-to for the family and friends who are hard to buy for. And really happy to hear the tumbler is getting some love too. Thank you Alix!
An absolute game changer! Not only is this bag beautiful to look at but it’s also the most practical bag I own! I love how much it holds and it keeps food and drinks cold all day long!
I can’t recommend Sunza highly enough!
Game changer is high praise and we are so here for it! Beautiful and practical all day long is exactly the balance we were going for. Thank you so much Hayley, reviews like this mean the world to a small Aussie brand just getting started.
The size is great.
The colour I love.
Nicely packed.
We originally bought the Sunza cooler backpack to keep our drinks and snacks cold, but it ended up being so much more! We packed our clothes and toiletries in it for an overnight getaway to the Gold Coast, then unpacked at the hotel and filled it with drinks and snacks for an afternoon at the beach with friends. It was so handy only needing one bag for the whole trip. Plenty of room, comfortable to carry, and everything stayed nice and cold. We absolutely love it!
Hi Jane, we're thrilled to hear how versatile and handy the Sunza Original Cooler Backpack has been for your adventures! Thanks so much for sharing your experience and for choosing Sunza Collective. Happy travels! - Leeha x
