What's the big idea?

Why bottle bags? Let me explain where the idea came from…

I created these bags in early 2020 after returning from five years of living and travelling abroad. As I explored North and South America and Europe, no matter the country, climate or activity, the one thing I always wanted to have with me was my water bottle - but I never wanted to have to carry it!

I also noticed without an easy way to carry their reusable water bottle, travellers were buying single-use plastic bottles constantly, only to throw them away as soon as they’d finished them, then buy another next time they were thirsty. The average traveller was slurping through 2-3 plastic bottles daily, often in countries with no meaningful recyclable waste program. I don’t need to tell you why that’s not great.

So with my idea waiting, as soon as I returned to New Zealand from my travels and dusted off my sewing machine, I made the first actual bag and Zoe Makes Bags was born.

 

Who are they for you may ask? Well, you! 

Are you a tiny bag person? Phone, keys, card and no space for your water bottle?

Big bag person? Space for everything but can’t find your water bottle jangling around in the chaos and it squashed that banana you’re carrying for afternoon tea?

No bag person? Need a hands-free way to bring your bottle with you?

Whatever kind of bag you usually tote, I created these bottle bags for you! My bottle bags are the perfect addition to every outfit, every day, to help you have your water handy, and stay hydrated!

For gifting and for the party girlies, the happy accident here is that these bottles perfectly fit a standard bottle of wine! Making them the perfect gift bag for any wine-gifting occasion, or the perfect way to keep your bottle safe by your side at a party!
