Purchasing beauty products like perfumes and lipsticks used to be an entry point to a designer brand, but now there’s a new option to add luxury items to your collection. Many fashion houses like Prada and Givenchy are debuting water bottles, giving everyday picks (and plain-old plastic bottles) a run for their money. The designer water bottle trend was recently in the spotlight when French fashion brand Coperni partnered with Evian to create a limited-edition bottle. More luxury designers are joining in, spoiling us with fashionable and functional accessories.
The best designer water bottles are an excellent upgrade to your current thermos. Better yet, they cut down on the use of single-use plastic bottles. And if you don’t use a plastic water bottle, perhaps your reusable go-to hasn’t been updated in years. Beyond being environmentally friendly, the water bottles on our list are an unexpected way for style lovers to amp up any look, especially if you’re bored with only styling your OOTD with belts and handbags.
Even though water bottles haven’t always had stylish designs, plenty of brands are drafting their own iterations with sleeker silhouettes and exciting features. The likes of Dior, Prada, Givenchy, and Ralph Lauren have launched a range of bottles — from ones to take to your workout class, options that decorate your desk, to flasks that keep you hydrated while traveling. And if you’re into quiet luxury, this is an excellent way to pair your affordable workout clothes with a high-end item.
So why splurge on a designer water bottle? Many designer water holders are crafted with stainless steel, one of the most durable materials for water bottle designs. Still, we see brands transitioning their use of high-quality materials commonly seen in ready-to-wear to the crafting of new jugs. Now, there’s glass, bamboo, and other insulated materials, paired with calfskin and leather. The new luxury accessory is also designed with unique artwork or distinguished logos engraved in gold or embossed textiles.
Of course, you could stick with your old bottle, but why not treat yourself to something special? Ahead, see our curated list of the best designer water bottles and learn more about the features that make them a unique pick over others on the market.
