Evian sources Issey Miyake for new limited edition bottle

It is the Japanese brand’s turn to design a new special edition Evian water bottle. Following in the path of Christian Lacroix, Jean Paul Gaultier and Paul Smith, the series continues with Issey Miyake’s flowery bottle, inspired by his famous Pleats Please range.

Evian bottle customised by Issey Miyake

CA collector piece like its predecessors, the bottle is now available in limited edition in French supermarkets at a price of 1.99 (euros).

New to this fourth collaboration is the pink flower found on supermarket shelves is the green version, being sold in Miyake boutiques. The “ultra” collectors’ version is one exclusively sold in the brand’s two Paris shops (Royal Street and Boulevard Saint-Germain) and on myevian.com.
