FROM 500 COPPER BOTTLES TO A GLOBAL WELLNESS MOVEMENT
Paani was born from a simple question asked during lockdown: “Why do we still use copper at home?”
The answer came from generations of wisdom. In India, copper vessels have been cherished for centuries, not just as tradition, but as powerful tools of wellness. Known for their natural ability to purify water, add trace minerals, and align with Ayurvedic practice, copper vessels carried more than function; they carried meaning.
That conversation sparked the creation of Paani.
The First 500 Bottles
The brand’s very first order was 500 handcrafted reusable copper water bottles. At the time, it felt like a huge leap. Would anyone buy them? Would the message resonate?
The response was overwhelming. The bottles sold out quickly not because of a massive advertising budget, but because people connected deeply with the story. They recognised the beauty of blending ancient Ayurvedic wisdom with modern design, and they saw the authenticity behind every product.
From those 500 bottles, Paani began its journey.
Growing Beyond a Bottle
Since that first collection, Paani has evolved into a wellness brand celebrated around the world.
- Featured in Men’s Health, The Guardian, and even invited to the BBC to share its story.
- Collaborated with the NHS and sold out shelves in a pop up stall at John Lewis during peak Christmas week.
- Became a TikTok Star Shop, connecting with a new generation of wellness seekers through real-time storytelling.
At every step, Paani has stayed true to its purpose: crafting pure copper wellness products that elevate daily rituals while honouring sustainability, science and heritage.
More Than Bottles
Today, Paani is no longer defined by a single product, copper water bottle. The brand’s growing collection now includes:
-
Paani Cups - a duo of handcrafted copper cups, inspired by the Ayurvedic belief that water holds memory and designed for mindful hydration. Launching end of 2025.
- The Jihva Oral Tool - a copper tongue scraper, endorsed by UK dental professionals, bringing clarity and freshness to daily oral care.
- Paani Sandalwood Candle - made from 100% pure soy wax and natural essential oils, rooted in Ayurveda to calm the mind and enhance wellbeing.
Each piece reflects the same values as the original bottle: wellness, heritage, craftsmanship, and authenticity.
A Community-Driven Journey
What sets Paani apart is not only its products, but also its community. Every conversation, every shared wellness story, and every question about patina or care has shaped the brand’s journey.
Behind each product lies the work of skilled artisans, many of whom have inherited their craft over generations. With the aid of traditional techniques and modern tools, they shape and polish the purest copper into vessels and tools designed for longevity. Quality checks take place both at source and upon arrival in the UK, ensuring that every product lives up to the brand’s promise.
This attention to detail is why Paani insists on one simple message: Look after your copper, and it will look after you.
Looking Ahead
As Paani prepares for another busy season, the brand remains rooted in its beginnings: those first 500 bottles filled more with hope than certainty.
Today, with thousands of products sold worldwide, the hope has grown into a thriving community of people who value sustainability, wellness, and tradition. And the promise remains the same, every new creation will always carry the same intention as the very first: to bring ancient wisdom into the modern world.
