It's no secret I'm a huge fan of green consumerism, which is why this new bottle from Tilnar Art has caught my eye.
The company worked with talented wildlife watercolour artist, Meg Hawkins, on the design of this H20 copper bottles, which are made out of recycled materials.
Not only do they reduce plastic pollution, are ocean friendly, fair trade and hand finished, recent studies have shown how the natural anti-bacterial properties of copper may help reduce the spread of viruses. So long, COVID!
They also look absolutely stunning - what's not to love?
