In my high school in suburban Chicagoland in the mid- to late-aughts, Nalgene water bottles were a certain and undeniable form of adolescent social currency. To carry one indicated you were an acceptable amount of granola-y, which, in my crunchy, beachy hometown, was among the most aspirational of characteristics.
The fashion industry is not unique in that it is, at least in theory, paying close, direct attention to sustainability and therefore to single-use plastics — and further in this particular instance, to the single-use water bottles that still flood airplane aisles and boutique exercise classes.
By the early 2000s, this led to a newer emergence of personal hydration, with Nalgene bottles beginning to arise on college campuses in front of a whole new, much younger and more versatile demographic than the strictly environmentalists from three decades prior. Enter, a new generation of water bottles for the aesthetic age, the brands of which offer instantly recognize "It" products that are certainly closer to Alison Lou jelly hoop earrings or Gucci belts than the burlap canteens of yore. Some, like S'well and BKR, are considered to be adjacent to fashion and beauty brands and carried within retailers like Shopbop and Sephora.

In November, Prada released a limited-edition bottle, priced from $75 for a 350 mL size to $85 for 500 mL, that just about decimated Menswear Twitter; secondhand menswear platform Grailed is currently selling versions for upwards of $200.
