It was a regular Wednesday at Beysis HQ when we received a call from one of our favourite US retail stockists. "We saw Oprah with your bottles and would love to place a restock order."
After passing on a link to a video of Oprah talking about her Beysis water bottle, the team started squealing with excitement. We had no idea the “Oprah” personalisation that was added to one of our insulated water bottles a few weeks ago was for THE Oprah Winfrey.
As an all-female company who derives inspiration from other women in business, Oprah represents the pinnacle of what can be achieved with the right ethos, drive and team to support you. So when Oprah said "here’s what I love so much…. I was looking for the perfect water bottle. I love the smoothness of this one when you pull it out of your bag, and the most important [thing] is having everyone’s name on their water bottle", the Beysis team considered it the ultimate compliment.
Beysis General Manager, Ariana Hendry commented "We have been working tirelessly to design a collection of beautiful sustainable products. The last three years have not been without their challenges, but when you receive such positive feedback from one of the world's most influential people, it creates a fire to keep persevering."
Oprah had purchased personalised water bottles from Beysis for an event she hosted last week to celebrate her friend, Ava DuVernay’s 50th birthday.
As host of thethree-day Maui extravaganza, Oprah created gift bags for each attendee, filled with some of her "most delightful favorite things". Beysis is thrilled that its top selling stainless steel water bottle was curated to feature alongside other beautiful products for Oprah's guests.
Passionate about our brand and mission to maximise style while minimising waste, we consider ourselves incredibly lucky to now include Oprah Winfrey as one of our global customers.
