Rothy’s Debuts Tennis Gear Capsule Collection with Evian Water

Back in September, the sustainable shoe and accessories brand, Rothy’s, teased a partnership with Evian Water to create a tennis-inspired capsule collection made out of repurposed Evian water bottles. But not only were they going to create tennis gear, they were going to design and manufacture the collection from recycled Evian bottles sold at the 2021 U.S. Open tournament. Well, the wait is over — the limited-edition capsule collection launched today and these seven pieces are a must for any tennis aficionado. Throughout the 2021 U.S. Open tournament last year, which Evian sponsors, the two brands collected and saved all of the empty water bottles that were purchased by fans — 72,000 bottles, to be precise. From there, Rothy’s processed the bottles using their low waste, circular-focused manufacturing method, which blended the water bottles with other recycled plastic, and made into the thread for this collection. Featuring seven pieces, including two sets of shoes, a hat, a visor, a duffel bag, a racket bag and a sling bag, this all-white collection with navy and red detailing, is crisp, chic and comes just in time for this year’s U.S. Open, which begins next week on August 29.
