Paul Smith, known for his sense of fun and optimistic attitude, has designed a bottle for Evian which will be on sale in limited amounts until Christmas.

It is a nice glass bottle with colourful stripes around the top, printed with organic ink!

The annual Evian designer bottle tradition began in 2008 with a limited edition bottle designed by Christian Lacroix, followed in 2009 with Jean Paul Gaultier.

Every year during the holiday season Evian, the World’s Most Luxurious Natural Spring Water, teams up with a European artist to create a special bottle. Over the years the pieces have become real collectors pieces.

Last year for Paris Fashion Week Evian partnered with Christan Lacroix and this year they worked with high fashion designer and Hermès Creative Director Jean Paul Gaultier.

He uses two unique creations – a “Prêt-à-porter” and an “Haute Couture” version – to crystallise the very essence of Evian water with his wonted talent

Bling H2O, was supposed to be the most expensive bottle of water until we found “Fillico Beverly Hills“, a premium line of spring water from a company name Vieluce in Osaka, being sold at $100 per bottle.

Fillico Beverley Hills contains water from a natural spring at the foot of Mount Rokko in Kobe, Japan. The spring is very famous for producing excellent water for Sake production and each bottle contains 750 ml of precious liquid. Due to the limited supply of spring water, only 5,000 bottles are sold each month.

Of course if paying $100 for a bottle of water is not enough, you can also buy the limited edition called “the King and Queen versions” which cost about 230$ each.

Their caps are more like crowns of royalty and are decorated with Swavorski crystals and carved with gold paint.

Bottled water isn’t just expensive but a major waste of resources as well… so, once it is empty, you can refill your precious bottle in your kitchen, for free ^_^

The world’s most expensive water can be found 2,000 feet down off the coast of Hawaii and is bottled by Hawaii Deep Marine. Called Kona Nigari, this water is a seawater mineral concentrate that should be mixed with regular water.

Japanese consumers are paying top dollar for desalinated Hawaiian deep-sea water being marketed as a dietary supplement that aids weight loss, stress reduction, skin tone and digestion. The water is high in minerals and believed free of modern contaminants. Since it’s in the deep sea, it doesn’t have any effects from air or water pollution.

At this time, only 2 ounces of Kona Nigari costs $33.50 USD ($2,144 per gallon!) and 80,000 bottles are shipped to Japan every day.

The business has grown large enough that Hawaii Governor Linda Lingle decided to issue an official Hawaii deep-sea water certificate. The state will charge 3 cents a bottle to use a logo to distinguish Hawaiian seawater from Japanese-produced seawater.

Those who once scoffed at the possibilities of water bars and water tastings are starting to change their tune as a new luxury-class of bottled water has emerged and these products are quickly claiming new fans.

Parallels with the wine industry are unavoidable, and similar to the spirit as water is categorized primarily by source. For example, Berg is a brand of water that, as the name suggests, is collected from icebergs off the coast of Newfoundland, Canada.

The claim is that this 15,000-year-old water comes from a time when there were less atmospheric pollutants.
