Something blue, classic cream, pretty in pink or luscious green? The perfect chic accessory, Kiwi-made mode & opal drink bottles are made for everyday life, and are now available in a limited edition for lavender lovers

Choose Petal Pink for a pop of colour, Powder Blue for your ‘something blue’, Sage Green for an earthy touch or Soft Cream for a classic bridal look. Keep one handy for work, workouts, wedding planning and beauty prep, or give one as a bridesmaid gift they’ll use long after the day.

The design details

Graphic designer Natasha Burger founded Mode & Opal in Hamilton in 2025. She wanted a drink bottle that looked good on her desk and was easy to drink from, carry and clean. When she couldn’t find one that did all three, she designed her own. The Kiwi brand received more than 200 five-star customer reviews in its first year.

The insulated stainless steel bottle has a contoured grip, a carry handle and a signature Wide-Sip Spout with a free-flowing straw. The lid flips open with one hand, seals to prevent leaks when properly closed and can go on the top rack of the dishwasher. The bottle itself should be washed by hand. It’s made without BPA, BPS or lead.

Mode & Opal bottles keep drinks cold for up to 24 hours. The 770ml bottle ($68.99) fits most car cup holders, while the 940ml bottle ($78.99) gives you more water between refills.

For the lavender lovers

To celebrate its first birthday, Mode & Opal teamed up with actor and SPCA ambassador Kimberley Crossman on the limited-edition Sweet Lavender Gift Set ($127.99). The boxed set pairs a 770ml insulated drink bottle with the brand’s first coffee mug, both in the exclusive lavender shade. $15 from every set sold goes to SPCA New Zealand.
