Need a way to keep your cold water cold and your hot water hot? You could use a simple thermal bottle holder. Or you could dress your bottle up like a little sailor girl, complete with an adorable beret. We know what option we'd go with.
Created by Sukiyaki of the Village Vanguard, who usually designs significantly larger dresses, this adorable little thermal carrier will keep your bottle snug and its contents just the right temperature. The holder doesn't skimp on details: it is adorned with a gem, has an embroidered patch, and comes with a removable pannier. The design itself is a reproduction of the school uniforms from the Japanese film 5-tsu Kazoereba Kimi no Yume.
The uniform can hold bottles of 500-600 ml, although it's not recommended for use with frozen bottles as it's not waterproof, and who likes a soggy sailor suit? You can clasp the bottle's "hands" together to attach her to your bag, or buy a couple and make them hold hands. Then give them all names and personalities and -- never mind, that's probably taking it too far.
You can get one at the Village Vanguard store for 4,212 yen (about $38 USD).
