Better than plastic, bottles that look good and last

By Sophie

WaterSeletti_glassesSophia Loren once said that “Everyone wants to be Italian.” That may be true for all the plastic bottles being thrown away on a daily basis.

The Italian company, Seletti, has a great set of water bottles that are made out of glass, not plastic. They add a bit of sophistication to every table, not to mention they are great for the environment. In a set of four ($195), each bottle holds 1.5 Liters and has its own shape. The imported bottles are truly one of a kind, and unlike any other eco-friendly bottle.

The bottles are available through Neiman Marcus and Seletti.
