Born in Canada in the 1990s, Asobu was created with a joyful mission at heart. The word Asobu (遊ぶ) means “to play” in Japanese, and that playful spirit shines through in every design they create.
From humble beginnings as a family-run startup, Asobu has grown into a globally recognised brand known for drinkware that blends sustainability, creativity, and functionality. Each product is carefully crafted from 100% recycled stainless steel, designed in Canada, and precision-manufactured to meet global safety standards.
But what really sets Asobu apart? It’s how they make hydration feel like fun, combining bold design, eco-conscious materials, and premium engineering into every bottle.
Here’s a closer look at the Asobu drinkware ranges we offer, each one thoughtfully designed to fit different lifestyles and personalities.
