# $2,500 Water Bottles Swarovski Vessel Features 10,000 Crystals By Cecilia Biemann | Published 2008-11-07 | Luxury Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/designer-water-bottles-2500-swarovski-encrusted-h2o-bottle References: [fashiontribes.typepad](http://fashiontribes.typepad.com/fashion/2008/11/a-swarovski-enc.html) & [blingh20](http://www.blingh20.com/) The latest in luxury bottled water from Bling Beverages is this $2,500 Swarovski-crystal-covered corked glass bottle, which is the result of a collaboration with accessory designer Kathrine Baumann. Each extravagant bottle in 'The Dubai Series' is adorned with 10,000 tiny hand-applied sparkling crystals. The stunning designer water bottles are hand-delivered to the purchaser in an elegant display case, which also includes white gloves to prevent smudges. **Implications** - With a water bottle so extravagant, you may not even want to drink from it! Bling’s Kevin Boyd was in charge of designing the crystal-covered water bottle. He says that "Dubai is at the forefront of extravagance. They’ve raised the bar on luxury to levels beyond belief, and with The Dubai Series, Bling H20 is doing the same thing for bottled water.” ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.6/10 - Popularity: 5% | Activity: 66% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/luxury) > [Ultra Luxury](https://www.trendhunter.com/ultraluxury) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Luxury Bottled Water:** The demand for luxury bottled water and expensive packaging is rising. - **Collaboration with Accessory Designers:** Brands and designers are collaborating to produce unique and exclusive bottled water packaging. - **Extravagant Packaging:** Companies are investing in expensive and visually stunning packaging for their bottled water products. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** Opportunities for companies to enter the luxury bottled water market and differentiate themselves through exclusive packaging and collaborations. - **Luxury Goods Industry:** Opportunities for luxury goods companies to expand into the bottled water market and create exclusive, high-end products with unique packaging. - **Accessory Design Industry:** Opportunities for accessory designers to collaborate with beverage companies to create unique, high-end packaging for bottled water and other beverages. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Luxury Sparkling Tote Bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tote-bag-and-juice.md) - [Extreme Beverage Taste Tests](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blind-taste-test.md) - [Monochromatic Sleek Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rare-beauty1.md) - [Model-Backed Chrome Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/adriana-lima-and-waterdrop.md) - [Record-Breaking Wine Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belaire-zeus.md) - [Artist-Designed Water Bottles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/evian-and-moncler.md) - [Fashion-Branded Vodka Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crystal-head-vodka-x-joshua-kane.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Eyewear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oakley-x-swarovski.md) - [Art-Covered Sparkling Wines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/desiderio-n1-limited-edition-art-bottles.md)
