The classic flask is a must-have for those that want to bring a snifter of booze with them in a discreet manner, which is exactly what the Bernard flask allows with style.

Currently available for preorder on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elements-collection-1), the Bernard flask is designed to look and work like a hip flask with a number of design-focused updates. Rather than being made from metal, the Bernard flask is crafted from ceramic stoneware, wood and magnets. This enables it to look great, operate even better and keep libations cool in hot climates.

The Bernard classic flask is made from barrels that have been sourced from a local distillery in Washington, DC. Every Bernard flask that is sold by the brand will lead to a tree being planted, as the brand has partnered with The Nature Conservancy's Plant a Billion campaign.
