One Dozen Water Bottle Holder Wholesale 12 Pack Assorted Peru Cotton Fair Trade *000589*

We're an active family that always need water wherever we go. This fits a regular 500ml/16 oz. water bottle. I ordered in bulk because the first one I bought at a gift shop in Seaside cost about 2x more, and because we have out-of-town guests visiting in spring and summer. These are great for sightseeing, long walks, and hiking. It can also hold a medium size water bottle, but too tall for canned soda or short children's water bottles, and not big enough for sports bottles. The Minion water bottle in the photo holds 24 oz., and it's a perfect fit -- but not for the pink double-wall water bottle with the same capacity.

I purchased a water bottle holder several years ago when visiting Machu Picchu in Peru. We have used it for hikes for years and I wanted to get more so all my kids and my wife could have one. When I got my order I was disappointed to find that is not the same as the holder I bought in Peru. The bottle pocket is much larger, not the snug fit on a 500 mL bottle I was expecting. I do understand this because many people use larger Nalgene or insulated bottles so I am not surprised. The real issue is that the shoulder strap is very short. I cannot carry the strap across my body or the bottle is in my armpit. I can only use the strap on my shoulder so it falls off easily and is still too short. So I like the design, I think the materials are okay, but I will not be using these because they are uncomfortable to carry with such as short shoulder strap.

These water bottle holders are exactly what I was looking for. They're really very well made, and each design is unique; the adjustable strap is comfortable worn cross-body or just slung over the shoulder, and they hold most 12 to 16 ounce bottles. I appreciate being able to purchase a smaller wholesale lot too, as I have a small store - so I look forward to seeing other fair trade offerings like this from Incazteca.

These are beautifully made and very similar to the two that I purchased in Peru years ago. I wanted them for gifts but they were larger than I expected. I usually carry a 16-20 ounce container in the holder that I use and these would easily hold a quart bottle of soda or other soft drink. I returned them without any difficulty.

Nice and very lightweight so would be nice for travel. They are only over-the-shoulder length though. When I saw the straps were adjustable I just assumed I would be able to make them long enough to go cross body but they are not able to be adjusted that much. While that was disappointing they are adequate for what they are. The colors are really pretty.
