Travel Light, Travel Green!
Summer is the perfect time for beach getaways, countryside escapes, and city breaks. But while you’re making memories, you can also make a positive impact on the planet! At Eco Chic, we believe your summer travel accessories should be stylish, practical, and sustainable.
Here’s your eco-friendly holiday packing list for a smooth and stress-free summer!
1. Reusable Water Bottle – Stay Cool & Hydrated
Say goodbye to single-use bottles with an Eco Chic Thermal Bottle. This handy drink companion features a wrist strap for easy carrying, and keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours — perfect for sunny beach days or scenic hikes!

From airport lattes to your favourite homebrewed teas, our Eco Chic Reusable Coffee Cups keep your drink warm for up to 6 hours, making it perfect for long journeys!
Why it’s eco-friendly: Cuts down on single-use coffee cups, which often can’t be recycled due to their plastic linings.
