The Zippo Slim 540 Color Skull & Flower Matte lighter from Zippo’s Counter Culture Collection is a bold statement piece that merges artistry, symbolism, and iconic American craftsmanship. With a full-color, all-over skull design intertwined with intricate floral accents, this lighter captures the balance between life and mortality, beauty and edge. It’s designed for those who embrace individuality, appreciate detailed artwork, and demand performance in everything they carry. Proudly made in the USA, this lighter reflects the legacy of Zippo while pushing artistic boundaries with its modern design.
The matte finish provides the perfect canvas for the vibrant skull and flower imagery, offering a smooth, tactile feel that enhances the visual detail of the artwork. The skulls and flowers wrap seamlessly around the Slim profile, ensuring that every angle of the lighter showcases something new. This 540 Color process allows for a stunning level of depth and detail, making this piece feel less like a lighter and more like a miniature work of art.
As part of the Slim series, this lighter carries all the durability and functionality of a standard Zippo in a slimmer, more streamlined profile. At 2.25” overall and weighing 2 oz., it’s lightweight, comfortable to carry, and perfectly balanced in hand. The Slim build makes it especially appealing to those who prefer a lighter design without sacrificing the iconic Zippo feel and performance. Of course, it’s built with the all-metal construction that ensures strength and dependability.
Performance is at the heart of every Zippo, and the Skull & Flower Slim delivers the same reliable wind-proof flame that has set Zippo apart for generations. Whether you’re lighting up outdoors on a breezy night or using it for everyday tasks, this lighter is engineered to work every time. The unmistakable “click” of the lid is a reminder of its authenticity and heritage, while the design makes it stand out in any collection.
The refillable nature of this Zippo ensures it’s built for the long haul. Instead of tossing it aside like disposable lighters, you’ll simply refill with lighter fluid and replace the wick or flint as needed to keep it running like new. This sustainable approach not only makes it practical but also ties directly into Zippo’s philosophy of creating products that last a lifetime.
