The New Stanley Luxe Collection Is Straight Out Of A Book Lover’s Pinterest Board

I’ve always been a sucker for anything that gives off cozy bookshop energy. I went through my hipster phase in waves and credit it to the cranberry juice red corduroy jacket I found while thrifting as a preteen. I’ve been chasing that moody, coffee-sipping aesthetic ever since, so when Stanley dropped its Quencher Luxe Collection, my inner bibliophile just about screamed.

With its sleek snakeskin texture and gold logo detailing, the new lineup looks like it was made for people who romanticize reading in cafes and pretending they’re the main character. It’s giving “annotates poetry for fun” energy, and I mean that as the highest compliment.

What is the Stanley Luxe tumbler?

The Quencher Luxe Collection feels like it was plucked straight from a vintage boutique that sells purses and old-school biographies of people like Norma Jean (Marilyn Monroe), which is great because Stanley claims the designs are inspired by vintage purses. Perfect for holding your next novel of choice? 

The lineup features four tumblers in total: two in the 40-ounce size and two in the 30-ounce. Each design channels understated luxury with details that make you want to show it off during your next coffee shop readathon.

One design pairs a black snakeskin pattern with gold accents, a handle and lid in a rich wood-inspired shade (think Brazilian cherry), and even a shiny gold Stanley logo charm that clasps on like jewelry. The second design, called Pale Stone, keeps things light and minimalist with a monotone snakeskin body, the same gleaming gold accents, and that removable charm for a touch of extra flair. 

How much is the Stanley Luxe collection?

Even with its new high-fashion makeover, Stanley didn’t skip out on the features that made the Quencher famous. Each tumbler in the Luxe Collection comes with the brand’s FlowState 3-position lid, which lets you choose between sipping through a reusable straw, going straw-free, or sealing it up completely when it’s time to hit the road. The removable soft silicone footpad underneath isn’t just a nice touch; it keeps your tumbler from clattering against hard surfaces (a small but sanity-saving detail. 

The new Tritan handle is made from durable, shatter-resistant Tritan copolyester that feels just as sturdy as it looks. Of course, the double-wall vacuum keeps drinks cold for hours, because the only thing worse than a melted iced coffee is a ruined chapter cliffhanger. The tumblers still fit most car cupholders, making them as practical as other everyday items.

As for pricing, the 30-ounce version goes for $65, while the 40-ounce retails for $75. It’s a bit of a splurge, but one that doubles as an accessory for your next reading nook selfie.

Where can I buy the Stanley Quencher Luxe Collection?

If you’ve already mentally matched one of these tumblers to your next coffee shop outfit, you might want to move fast. The Quencher Luxe Collection is available exclusively through Stanley’s website, and unsurprisingly, they’re flying off the virtual shelves. With Stanley drops, once they’re gone, they’re usually gone, so this might be your sign to grab your favorite colorway before you catch a case of some sold-out heartbreak.
