Leo Messi is a long-time Stanley 1913 aficionado, having used Stanley 1913's South American Mate System for decades. As the official drink of Argentina, Messi views mate as a connection to his family, his culture and sport community. Messi was deeply involved in the Stanley 1913 collection design process, providing input into the innovative product selects, materials, finishes and color. One of his mantras, "START EARLY, STAY LATE," is etched on the lipland of four of the products within the collection, giving nod to his dedication to his sport.
"I am honored to team with Stanley 1913 to innovate and design the co-branded Messi x Stanley 1913 collection," said Leo Messi. "My connection to the brand is truly authentic. I have a Stanley by my side all day long for my mate, being the ultimate drinkware partner. Similar to how I 'start early and stay late' in dedication to my sport, Stanley 1913 has been dedicated to product, innovation, design, color, quality and best in class consumer experience for 110+ years. I am excited for our collective communities to experience what we've created together, because at the end of the day, this was all designed with them in mind."
