SIGG for the Fashionably Parched

Need another reason to ditch the disposable plastic water bottle? How about fourteen reasons?

SIGG (you know the hardwearing yet elegant water bottle Co.), Elle Magazine and Laurie David’s Stop Global Warming have joined forces to up the anti-plastic rationale. The iconic dream team has commissioned fourteen leading names in fashion (yes, were talking Zac Posen, Diane Von Furstenberg and Stella McCartney) to create one-of-a-kind limited edition designer water bottles. Here’s a sampling. Click here to preview all fourteen.

Come on Tommy . . . just a signature? That’s weak.

Hmmmmm . . . there’s something funny about the idea of “designer water bottles” . . . then again, disposable plastic water bottles have long been a must-have accessory for the stylish and parched. Hopefully, these leading designers will convince fashion followers, world wide, to forgo the Evian and get hip with a SIGG.

In addition to launching a major fashion trend, SIGG and Elle will be auctioning the inimitable bottles to raise money for StopGlobalWarming.org. The bidding starts at 7pm tonight!

These are pretty neat – I bought a SIGG a month or so ago and just love how convenient it is, how great the water tastes in it, and of course, the style factor. My SIGG is the most vibrant shade of blue – reminds me of the ocean. Here’s a pic of one like mine:

I would definitely recommend a SIGG to anyone – get rid of the disposable plastic people!!

I LOVE DVF’s dresses (so flattering, so easy!) and I think her bottles are my fave. Now if only she would start designing using bamboo or recycled polyester fabrics in her dresses I’d never have to wear anything else!
Also, I too have a Sigg- and it’s great! The water DOES taste yummy from it, and even when it’s warm out, it stays cool. Sigg fan club over here!

Oh yes! I love my SIGG. I actually get a lot of compliments on it, and I find it keeps my water nice and cool. I have one that is a wheat color with chocolate brown and hot pink flowers on it. It is SO cute.
