Exclusive Cocktail Box by Valextra in Partnership With Maurizio Stocchetto

This special cocktail box from the Milanese workshop of Valextra is made to order from its signature Millepunte calf leather in your choice of color. It’s fastened by a twist lock that nods to the brand’s Iside clasp and finished with its hand-painted black-lacquered Costa edging. When you slide it open, it reveals a full cocktail set, including a shaker, cocktail tools made from silvered brass, and two martini glasses.

What truly elevates this exceptional set, though, is the unique collaboration with Maurizio Stocchetto. For more than a decade, Valextra has had a close partnership with the owner of Bar Basso, one of Milan’s most storied drinking dens—it was there that Maurizio’s father, Mirko, invented the negroni sbagliato in the 1970s. Valextra tapped Maurizio to specially devise three recipes for this Vault exclusive, which can be made using the equipment here—try a Cointreau-spiked Valextra Pink. Each recipe is embossed in the leather coasters included here, but you’re not limited to drinking those three. Stocchetto’s expertise is on tap for you via the Valextra team: He’s exclusively offering to consult with buyers of these boxes and create bespoke cocktail recipes for them on demand. (Pro tip: Ask him for a few riffs on the negroni, his go-to drink.) It’s like rostering your next party with the firsthand expertise of one of the world’s best bartenders.

The Cocktail Box defines what Valextra terms its “vision of design fluidity and discreet luxury.” The Italian brand is renowned for encapsulating Milan’s design and cultural legacy in its products, and this collaboration with Maurizio Stocchetto of Bar Basso elevates this concept to luxurious new levels of sophistication.
