You can now wear your Stanley Bottle like a cross-body bag
In the past year, Stanley’s Quencher Cup has become a Gen Z status symbol. Dakota Johnson used one for a skit on Saturday Night Live, Olivia Rodrigo launched a collaboration with the brand, and Adele brought hers along for the final Carpool Karaoke with James Cordon on The Late Late Show. That’s not to mention the nearly 109 million TikTok posts dedicated to the viral supersized water holder.
Now, the 111-year-old brand is releasing an update on its most popular style, and we’re already predicting it’ll be a sell-out. Meet: the Stanley Cross Bottle, a 23oz bottle with a handy cross-body strap so that you can “wear” your water bottle – ideal for those who like to go as hands-free as possible. It also boasts the same features that made the Quencher popular – the rotating lid for left-handed people, the easy-to-use straw, the soft grip material – and comes in six fun colourways.
The Cross Bottle is just the latest way in which we’re having fun with our accessories of late, with phone bracelets, sunglasses chains and bag charms all enjoying a moment. What’s more, TikTok is full of Gen Zers customising their Stanleys, too, including those who adorn them in not only stickers, but beads.
The only stumbling block to the Cross Bottle’s dominance? The style is currently only available in the US and Canada, though the EU website does have a “notify me” button so that you can get your hands on it first when it does launch here. Looks like a trip stateside might be on the cards…
