Everything she carries.
Working harder.
Tap a number on the bottle to explore each part.
01
The halo handle
A solid steel ring, shaped for a natural three-finger carry. Desk to gym, studio to street.
02
Enclosed straw cap
An enclosed straw is part of the current cap design. Final cleaning instructions will be confirmed before launch.
03
The insulated body
Double-wall stainless steel is the design target. Final capacity and care instructions will be confirmed before launch.
04
HaloBeam directional light
A directional light built into the base. Final output, runtime and controls are still to be confirmed.
05
The module
Designed to connect to the Auraste app on a compatible phone. Planned alerts would share her location with the contacts she chooses.
06
Pull-ring activation
A small safety pin underneath the bottle is designed to activate the alarm and light. Contact alerts are planned through a paired phone app.

The origin
It started
with a walk.
What if the water bottle had something built in?
Michael and Sarah were on vacation. On their walk back to their hotel, they passed more than a dozen women heading to evening yoga, each carrying only a mat and a water bottle. Sarah said: I would never feel safe doing that. Michael said, almost as a joke: What if the water bottle had something built in? She stopped. That's a great idea. That night, Auraste began.
