We've been asked for a while by customers if we carry water bottles. Part of our delay was we didn't want to carry just any old bottle, we wanted something special and we found that in Cognitive Surplus' line. What sealed the deal for us was the thought process that went into *how* they apply their designs to their bottles to make them last. Read on to find out more.

Most steel bottles polish their steel bodies and then use a decal or hydro dip to apply designs to the surface of bottles. As a result, the design is only a thin layer, which means when life happens the image can easily be damaged revealing the shiny, polished steel underneath. This draws attention to the blemish.

In contrast, the designs on Cognitive Surplus' bottles are applied using layers of enamel. Some designs feature so many layers that you can actually feel the design, resulting in a unique texture that seems to pop off the bottle. When life happens, since the enamel is thick, any scratch will typically simply reveal more enamel. If enough enamel is taken off the matte steel underneath is revealed. This allows the bottles to age gracefully and can develop a love worn patina.
