The Story of ReBOTTLE

The
Beginning
ReBOTTLE was born in 2016 in Alentejo, Portugal by Shani Alamgor. We created a premium quality stainless-steel, reusable and insulated water bottle covered with cork—a beautiful fusion of modern functionality and traditional Portuguese craftsmanship. The cork coating is handcrafted by local artisans using natural eco-friendly materials, re-embracing tradition and quality with a design that is both hip and practical. Each piece is unique due to the variety of textures and patterns of this organic material.

OUR
Team & Process
Luis Vaz is the manager of our studio, overseeing all operations from laser engraving to stock management, order preparation and worldwide shipping. We pack our products ourselves with great love, care and intention—wrapped within every package is also our hope for a sustainable, healthy and respectful future for our planet and all its inhabitants. ReBOTTLE packaging is plastic-free, and we invest and focus on zero waste: there is practically no waste involved in the cork harvesting process, and any waste that does exist is 100% organic and compostable.

OUR
Mission
We made it our mission to encourage the reduction of single-use plastic products and offer instead durable reusable alternatives that leave a minimal ecological footprint while supporting the local economy here in Portugal. We create sustainable and stylish products for everyday life to promote healthy and eco-friendly living, re-embracing tradition and premium quality with new and practical design.

WHY
Cork Matters
The cork industry is considered highly sustainable—the trees are not cut down but continue to prosper, regenerate their bark, and act as a green lung for the planet. The harvesting is done by hand, without polluting machinery, and has very low environmental impact. Cork is a renewable resource that embodies everything we believe in: respect for nature, traditional craftsmanship, and conscious production. Beyond its sustainability, cork is naturally antibacterial and hypoallergenic, making it the perfect material for products that touch your daily life.

our
Philosophy
We believe that sustainability comes first. A sustainable life is all about mutual support and harmony—it's about conscious awareness of the impact we make on our environment. A sustainable business is one that sustains the livelihood of its owners, provides fair working conditions, avoids harm, and aspires to make good. It should evolve in a conscious and organic way, placing sustainable principles before profit or growth. This is the foundation upon which ReBOTTLE stands.
