The ESSENTIAL Origin

ESSENTIAL® — Our First Store

This isn’t a big launch — it’s simply our next quiet step, shaped by the same conviction that built ESSENTIAL from the very start.
We crafted this space the same way we built the brand: with patience, purpose, and a belief in what truly lasts.
No noise. No pressure. Just clarity, craft, and intention.
Because before there was a brand, there were three cousins, a quiet idea, and a bottle that felt right — long before it had a name.

ESSENTIAL® — Our First Store

We’re opening our first store — a quiet space in a loud world. Designed for those who move with intention. More than a place to shop, it reflects what we stand for: simplicity, ritual, and the enduring value of less.

How did it all begin? Three cousins. One bottle. And the belief that essentials speak in silence.

What Our Customers Shared With Us

Maddie R.

The Stride lid is pure genius. Opens one-handed but still seals tight. Been hiking with it nonstop and it’s held up great.

Tom H.

Tundra is great for outdoors. I’d love to see a darker green or desert tone in future drops.

Ana P.

Tundra 20 is easy to take with. I use it for short walks or when I drive somewhere. The handle is strong, and no leaks so far. Only thing is, I hoped it stay cold a bit longer, but still happy overall.

Chloe M.

The flow’s decent, no complaints there. Lid takes a few turns to line up right – bit fiddly the first time. But once it’s on, it seals tight. No leaks at all.

Jason T.

The Monolith surprised me. It’s tall and sleek, but somehow still fits in my car’s cup holder — didn’t think a 40 oz would. Really solid design.

Amira S.

The Tundra 30 feels a bit heavy when it’s full, but you can tell it’s built to handle that. Feels solid, like it’ll last. Worth the extra weight.

Lena R.

The Core 24 oz is sharp. Just clean, no gimmicks, nothing flashy — it just works and blends into my daily routine without a thought.

David L.

I’ve got the full Heritage set now. Each size serves a different purpose, which I like. One for coffee, one for a quick sip, one for proper pours.

Sophie K.

Love my 12 oz Mini Sip — perfect size for short outings. Kinda wish the lid had a click-lock or something, but I get it’s meant to look clean. Still a fave.

Jordan E.

The Core slips right into my backpack — barely notice it’s there. That’s the best kind of design if you ask me.

Rebecca T.

I mainly use the Play at the gym. Feels sturdy but still light. Wasn’t sure how it’d handle shakes, but it cleans surprisingly well — no smell at all.

Mitch A.

Got the Flow for my runs. Sips easy, no leaks, and the weight’s just right even when it’s full. Does exactly what I need.

Emily W.

Pop 1L is quite big, but the side grip makes it easy enough to carry. Perfect for long days at the office when I need to stay hydrated.

Mark H.

Core 24 oz goes everywhere with me. Fits in my bike cage and fits right into my busy life.

Jessica B.

Had to pick between the 20 and 30 oz, went with the 30. Glad I did — it’s the perfect size for longer trips out.

Oliver K.

The handle’s the real hero here. Not bulky at all, but it feels really secure and locked in place.

Maya S.

Only wish the 20 oz came in more colours. The one I have looks amazing though, and I’d definitely buy a few more if they did.

Liam J.

Took the 30 oz to the lake, and it still had ice after hours in the sun. Grip stayed solid — never slipped once.

Sophie H.

The 20 oz Tundra is the one I grab when I don’t want to think about it. Reliable, solid, no fuss at all.

Jake M.

My Campfire got a scratch, and honestly, I kinda liked it more after that. Gives it a bit more rugged, lived-in look.

Amina K.

Terra holds enough for a whole day out. Just a heads-up — it doesn’t fit in every side pocket, so worth checking your bag first.

Raj P.

I’ve been using the Elan daily for two months now. Still looks brand new — matte black was a really smart choice.

Oliver K.

Monolith feels sturdy but isn’t bulky at all. I carry it all day and barely notice it’s there.

Sofia R.

Campfire feels like a thermos from the future. Keeps things hot or cold, and somehow does it quietly — no weird noises or fuss.

Dev P.

The Stride is the one I keep coming back to. Not flashy, but the shape just feels right in your hand.

Tom K. 

Monolith fits my cup holder, which shocked me tbh. 40 oz and still portable.

Leila A.

I went for the Elan because of the finish. It’s like someone thought through every edge and angle.

Zachary N.

Didn’t expect the Terra to feel this balanced — even full. Looks big, but it handles clean.

Marcus L.

Bought the 40 oz Monolith™ and it’s honestly the first bottle I’ve stuck with. It’s clean, quiet, and weirdly satisfying to hold.

Georgia P.

The Tundra 20oz is my go-to for dog walks and hikes. That grip handle makes all the difference. Great design.

Elle V.

Love the minimal look. Would be cool if the Monolith had a lid with a loop too — sometimes I carry too much.

Nate S.

It keeps my coffee hot longer than anything I’ve tried, and I’ve triedtoo many. The inside doesn’t hold flavour either.

Dan

Solid bottle, good balance. Lid on my Monolith was tight at first but it loosened after two uses. Now it’s perfect

Sarah J.

The matte finish is exactly what I wanted — not slippery, not flashy, just clean.

Marco D.

Honestly, I’m impressed. Cold stay all day, even after sun. Grip feels good, not cheap.

Naomi K.

My iced drinks last for hours, but I underestimated the size of the 30 oz. Not a complaint — just... it's big.

Leo R.

I never thought a bottle could feel this intentional. There's nothing extra on it, and that’s exactly the point.

Jack P.

Surprisingly, the 40 oz fits in my car’s holder. Thought it’d be too wide, but nope — smart design.

Selin A.

Honestly, the silence of it is what sold me. No rattling, no branding, no nonsense.

Chloe R.

My sister asked where I got it. She’s now converted. We both carry ESSENTIAL bottles to work.

Vincent L.

Was torn between the Tundra and the big Monolith. Ended up with both. No regrets.

Anya D.

The texture is different — almost powdery-matte. Took a sec to get used to, but now I love it.

Dev.S

“I thought I’d want bolder colours, but this tone is so wearable. Subtle works.

Leila M.

Everything about it feels deliberate. Even the box it came in was clean and plastic-free.

Ricky D.

Cap got stuck once on the Monolith, probably my fault tbh. Rinsed it, no issue since

Isabelle K.

It’s been through hikes, hot cars, winter mornings. Still looks and feels like day one.

Arjun N.

If I could tweak one thing, I’d add measurement lines inside for tea ratios. But that’s nitpicking.

Zoe F.

You know when something’s so well made, you don’t even think about it anymore? That.

Hugo T.

No logo. No screaming slogans. Just one object, done right.

Erin W.

I’ve replaced all my bottles. This is the only one that feels like a keeper.
