From discarded bottle to everyday favourite
Every GLASSWALLAH sipper begins with an original Absolut bottle rescued from going to waste. Instead of ending its journey after a single use, we transform it into a premium everyday essential through a careful, hands-on process.
Here is the five-step journey from a discarded bottle to your complete sipper set.
1. Collection: Finding bottles with a future
We source discarded Absolut bottles and select those with the potential for a second life. These bottles are our starting material — not newly manufactured glass. By upcycling what already exists, we retain the distinctive character of the original bottle while reducing the need for new production.
2. Deep cleaning: Prepared for a new purpose
Each collected bottle undergoes a thorough deep-cleaning process. This essential step removes all residue and prepares the glass for its transformation, ensuring a clean foundation for the craft work that follows.
3. Precision cutting: Shaped with intent
The bottle is then precision-cut to create the sipper's opening. This is where a familiar form takes on a new function, while preserving the iconic silhouette that makes it instantly recognizable. Each cut is intentional, balancing design and everyday usability.
4. Polishing and quality check: Attention to the finish
After cutting, the edges are meticulously polished to a smooth, refined finish. Every sipper passes through a detailed quality check, focusing on safety, finish, and consistency. This is where craftsmanship meets refinement.
5. Packing: A complete set, ready for your ritual
Your finished sipper is assembled as a complete, considered set:
- 1 x Upcycled Absolut Bottle Sipper
- 1 x Bamboo Lid
- 1 x Steel Straw
- 1 x Cork Coaster
Designed for your desk, your home, or as a thoughtful gift — everything you need for a elevated everyday drinking ritual.
A little care goes a long way
Handwashing is recommended to preserve the finish. The bamboo lid is designed to be splash-resistant, not leak-proof — perfect for your desk and daily use, not for travel.
Crafted with purpose. Designed to last.
From rescue to final pack, this process reflects our belief that discarded materials deserve another chapter. Thank you for choosing a product with a story.
