Fashion design company Ralph Lauren has launched a limited edition ‘mixologist box’, complete with an embossed crocodile leather mixology book, priced US$4,995.

Ralph Lauren has introduced a limited edition “mixologist box”, on sale for US$4,995

Designed as a “compact desktop bar”, the Ralph Lauren Vanderbilt Mixologist Box is made up of three compartments and a drawer containing a range of bar accessories designed by Ralph Lauren Home.

The box, which is made from rosewood, features a 24% crystal ice bucket, a custom made Laguiole corkscrew, a silver-plated cocktail shaker, a Boston strainer, cocktail picks, holder, ice tongs, bar spoon, jigger, a cocktail knife, a Maple muddler and a hickory wood cutting board.

Just 100 are available, each featuring a numbered hand-polished nickel plaque with ‘Ralph Lauren Limited Edition’ engraved on it.

Demand for luxury cocktail hampers seems to be on the rise. Last year, Rolls-Royce launched a limited edition bespoke cocktail hamper worth more than a BMW 3 Series.
