To properly celebrate 10 years of Van Leeuwen Ice Cream's fan-favorite Honeycomb flavor, home furnishing and technology brand Lovesac teamed up with the NYC-born brand to launch a limited-edition, comfy collection of custom CitySac Covers. This collab was announced just days ahead of National Ice Cream Day, treating fans to Lovesac x Van Leeuwen CitySac Covers with a custom pocket perfect for holding an ice cream scoop or spoon.
Alongside a Lovesac x Van Leeuwen CitySac Cover in a rich golden caramel tone that pays homage to Honeycomb—a limited-time special that turned into one of the most popular Van Leeuwen flavors on the menu year-round—there are other colors to pick up, like nutty Sicilian Pistachio and soft pink Strawberry.
Honeycomb's 10th anniversary festivities continue with Van Leeuwen offering $3 scoops of Honeycomb ice cream at all stores during select hours on National Ice Cream Day.
