🌸 Our Story

From One Cup of Water to a Ripple of Change

stanlg started with one woman, one bottle, and a thousand reasons to keep going.

Our founder was a design student from a small town in southern China, studying abroad in the U.S. Like many international students, she faced overwhelming pressure—language barriers, cultural gaps, financial stress. Amidst the chaos, one quiet habit kept her grounded: drinking water from a reliable, oversized bottle that carried her through long lectures and late-night shifts.

But there was a problem—most bottles were either functional but boring, or stylish but unreliable. None felt like her.
So she asked:

Why can’t a bottle be beautiful, personal, and still work hard for you—just like we do for ourselves every day?

đź’ˇ Where Design Meets Purpose

As a design student, she began sketching bottles that were both expressive and practical. Inspired by the characters she loved growing up—Hello Kitty, Snoopy, playful pastels, clean lines—she imagined hydration as something that could bring joy, identity, and yes, even a little magic to daily life.

With the support of her family and a trusted factory back home, the first stanlg samples were born.

🌊 The Ripple Effect

But she didn’t forget what made those years hard. The loneliness. The skipped meals. The constant juggling between surviving and studying.

That’s why stanlg gives back—with every bottle sold, $1 goes to support low-income international students, just like she once was. Through meals, aid, and community support, we help others keep going—because even one drop of care can ripple into real change.

✨ What We Believe

At stanlg, we believe:

  • A bottle should be more than just a bottle
  • Wellness should feel beautiful
  • Giving back should feel easy
  • And your story deserves to be held—with care

When you carry a stanlg bottle, you’re not just staying hydrated.
You’re holding a story of strength, creativity, and compassion. And now—it’s part of yours.

From one student to thousands around the world—thank you for being part of this ripple.

With love,
The stanlg team
