Sip like the Stylish

Stylish sipping is here for the holidays with Evian’s designer bottles, created this year by French Fashion designer, Christian Lacroix. Parched Evian lovers can enjoy the Haute Couture and prêt-à-porter bottles filled with natural spring water. The limited edition Pinnacle Haute Couture bottle retails for $1,400 and the Merry Cou Cou prêt-à-porter (ready-to-wear) bottle for approximately $12.50.

The Haute Couture glass bottle is sculptured as a crowned ice princess, wearing an A-line gown with the French Alps carved into her skirt. Accents like the shawl covering her shoulders, and the clutch in both hands complete the polished design.

The prêt-à-porter bottle has a regular curved body, adorned with a frosted lace pattern resembling snowflakes, printed from the base to the neck. Unlike the couture bottle, the ready-to-wear design has Evian printed in red across the midsection.

The release of the limited edition posh carafe by Lacroix for Evian exemplifies how fashion is becoming a part of the activities of contemporary living.

The decorated bottles became available in December. The Haute Couture bottle can be found exclusively at Colette, and the prêt-à-porter bottle is at select retail locations. Both Lacroix creations are also available at eviancouture.com.
