# Handcrafted Artisanal Flasks The Bernard is a Classic Flask Made from Natural Materials By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2016-10-07 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/classic-flask References: [thegadgetflow](http://thegadgetflow.com/portfolio/bernard-flask-worlds-beautiful-flask/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bernardflask/the-bernard-flask-the-worlds-most-beautiful-flask) 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. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.6/10 - Popularity: 74% | Activity: 57% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 90% men, 10% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Artisanal Flask Trend:** Opportunity for makers to use alternative materials to create stylish and eco-friendly flasks. - **Sustainability Trend in Alcohol Industry:** Opportunity for alcohol brands to partner with environmental campaigns to offset their carbon footprint and promote sustainable practices. - **Design-focused Flask Trend:** Opportunity for designers to create unique and aesthetically pleasing flasks with functional features. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Alcohol and Spirits Industry:** Opportunity for alcohol brands to create unique and sustainable products that appeal to environmentally conscious consumers. - **Home and Kitchenware Industry:** Opportunity for makers and designers to create alternative materials for traditional items like flasks which appeal to eco-conscious consumers. - **Fashion Accessories Industry:** Opportunity for designers to create innovative and stylish flasks that enhance personal style for both men and women. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Metallic EDC Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/corkcicle-cool-flask.md) - [Leakproof Adventurer Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yeti-flask.md) - [Cultural Heritage-Inspired Vacuum Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/heirloom-thermos.md) - [Insulated Music-Playing Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vssl-insulated-flask.md) - [Designer-Approved Alcohol Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/woodford-reserves-2025-holiday-bottle.md) - [Football-Shaped Flasks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jameson-football-flask.md) - [Sophisticated Drinking Vessels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eau-carafe.md) - [Sculptural Whisky Decanters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artistry-in-oak.md) - [Ultra-Customizable Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sunnies-flask.md)
