Every collection needs one bottle that breaks the pattern just enough to keep things interesting. That was Go Halvsies. While it’s playful and punchy—it’s also a little wild in the best way.

This design started with characters—and with a dad who wanted to make something he could share with his son, but that was also elevated enough for adults. Instead of beginning with colors or patterns, he started with creatures—and punny illustrations. That’s how characters like King Crab (a crab in a crown) and Flying Fish (yes, a fish with wings) came to life. Each one is a little weird, a little unexpected, and intentionally open to interpretation.

The goal was simple: create something that’s genuinely fun to look at for both adults and kids (and we’d say it succeeded). 

The illustrations lean into the funkier side of Owala—one of our favorite sides, honestly. It’s the kind of bottle that rewards curiosity. You notice something new every time you pick it up. A creature you missed before. A face you suddenly decide is your favorite.

Like many other bottles, balance was a toughie. Too many creatures and the bottle felt super chaotic. Too few and it lost its wacky energy. The final layout gives each character room to exist, while still feeling full of movement and life.

Go Halvsies is meant to be a conversation starter. The one that makes someone say, “Wait—what is that?” and then look closer. It’s here to have fun—and to remind you that sometimes the best ideas come from love and a little imagination.
