Let's all drink to cult-fave and SF-based water bottle company BKR (ˈbēkər/) on the recent release of its adorable Teeny collection. Available in eight dazzling colors—we're particularly smitten with Romeo—the 250 ml water bottles are shrunken versions of the brand's signature 500-ml size— known for keeping the hip and eco-conscious well hydrated and seriously addicted since 2011. (Yes, there are celeb fans galore.)
Co-founders and besties Tal Winter and Kate Cutler were inspired to "downsize" after an overseas trip: "Ever since going to Japan, we've both had this obsession with tiny, cute things, so a part of us wanted to make a teeny BKR," says Winter. This plus customers' constant pleas for a smaller bottle to carry in their micro bags sealed the collection's fate birth.
FYI: Every BKR bottle is made of BPA-free, phthalate-free, FDA approved materials. The bottle is soda-lime glass, the sleeve and gasket are silicone, and the cap is made of food-grade, recyclable polypropylene.
