Petra Cabot (February 21, 1907 - October 13, 2006) was an American designer and artist, perhaps best known for the 1950s plaid-covered storage pail Skotch Kooler. According to The New York Times, the Skotch Cooler could keep ice cream firm for three hours without ice and was handy for fishing trips, keeping "groceries cold on the way to the lake and fish cold on the way back." The container had a volume of four gallons. The structure was composed of "three layers of insulation: one of fiberglass, one of inert air and a heat-reflecting outer surface." These cooler have become popular as collectibles.
