Love Shack Fancy Stanley Tumbler: A Review

Are you familiar with the Love Shack Fancy brand? I first heard of it a couple of years ago, and I would love to visit one of the LSF stores, but alas, they haven’t come to Georgia yet. Still, I see their gorgeous wares online every now and then, particularly their “collaborations” with companies like Stanley. I never got on the Stanley bandwagon when those huge tumblers first became all the rage, but when I saw the Love Shack Fancy Stanley tumbler, I wanted it. Alas, the tumblers were sold out by then, re-selling on eBay for hundreds of dollars each! If I’m going to spend hundreds of dollars on something to serve food or drink in, it’s going to involve place settings, fine china, and cups and saucers, if you get my drift.

So when I read that another Love Shack Fancy “collaboration” with Stanley was coming up on August 19, I was ready for it. I was afraid the tumblers would sell out before I could tap “add to cart,” but to my surprise, they did not. My beloved Lilly Pulitzer tumbler I bought last spring was still serving me well, but the lid is hard to remove, and part of the plastic on the inside of the lid broke off one day. I can (and do) still use it, but I wish they’d made the lid sturdier. Also, of all things, I have small hands (I wear a size 4-1/2 ring and a 6-1/2-inch bracelet), and that 30-ounce tumbler has been bulky to hold with one hand. So I ordered the Stanley mug in a 20-ounce size, thinking that will also be a better size for all the hot tea I’ll be sipping this fall.

I was so excited when the box arrived on Friday, and I was not expecting such beautiful packaging, including a bag for the tumbler. Lovely!

The tumbler itself is as rosy and girly as I’d hoped it would be. At $40, it’s something of a splurge, and I was delighted to discover that the tumbler has a lifetime warranty—which I hope I don’t need.

The pink plastic straw has a bow-shaped seal, so fitting since Love Shack Fancy has lots of bows in its feminine, vintage-inspired offerings.

When I rinsed out the tumbler then reassembled it, I was delighted that the top twists on instead of popping in and out. Much easier to use (and clean). The first thing I sipped? Ice water flavored with a Mint and Rose Blossom tea bag from Luzianne just because that seemed rather appropriate! I’m so pleased with this new tumbler, and while I got it because of the LSF graphics, I’m impressed with the “Stanley” design as well. Are you a Stanley fan? (Or a Love Shack Fancy fan?)
