Our Hero!
Australian Registered Design Patent No.202113640
Our passion and journey all started with this little guy! This little helpful and unassuming leather bottle carrier has the potential to remove 1,217 600ml single use plastic bottles from our environment from 1 person in 1 year!
That's 100,983 single use plastic bottles removed from the environment in an average lifetime - that's our warranty!_
1 bottle harness in your lifetime helping to save the environment - what have you got to lose?
Each of our leather bottle harnesses are handmade on premises and no two items are identical. As unique as you are, bringing functionality to fashion and of course, not to mention most importantly, reducing single use plastics and sustainability!

Stirling is a very energetic, inquisitive and caring 4 year old (2 in the picture) who loves animals, anything adventurous and fast (to scare mummy!) and the outdoors! Especially anything with wheels and the beach!
Truffles (our furbaby), is a very playful and loving 8 year old Chocolate Doxipoo (Dachshund x Miniature Poodle).A perfect inside dog combo of intelligence and hypoallergenic qualities! She is my loyal buddy. Having her unconditional love by my side through the fun and also some of my toughest times, including the devastating passing of my mother to cancer, she is a priceless gem and most definitely my best friend. Like Stirling, Truffs loves the beach and finally learnt to swim at the old age of 6! :)

Hi! We are Petria, Ben, Stirling & Truffles!
Some time has passed since this photo. As you can see from the first pic, Stirling has grown a little, is now 4 and Truffles is a little hairier.
I thought this photo was appropriate as it was around this time that I thought of the bottle carrier, harness concept... More info to come :)
