Absolut teamed up with Japanese fashion label Sacai to create a limited-edition bottle upcycling set that turns the vodka bottles into bottles that can be repurposed and fitted with a spray nozzle. The set comes with a co-branded bottle design, a silicone sleeve a t-shirt and more, plus it all comes in recyclable paper packaging.
There are just 500 sets that can be claimed and they offer a clever way for people to get more from a bottle of vodka once it has been emptied. The refillable bottles have the potential to be used for a wide range of things at home, as they could be used to create everything from DIY room sprays to simple cleaning solutions.
