Where the hell can I buy this bottle?

December 29, 2011 2:40 PM

Any idea where I could buy a Sigg water bottle in London tomorrow? I've ordered one online, but the company have let me down - it's a last-minute gift for a loved one so it has to be tomorrow! I don't even know where to start and Googling "Sigg bottle stockists london" has got me nowhere. Thanks for any help!

Best answer: Blacks, Millets, and John Lewis all have them.

Closest Sigg branch to London seems to be about 100 miles away in Suffolk. Here's the contact info: I'd call them and ask them where in London you can find their bottles.

BRANCH

I often see Sigg bottles in the organic and health food stores where I live. Try calling Whole Foods, Fresh & Wild or Daylesford Organic.

So do Costwold Outdoor.

I'd start with the Milletts branch finder, and then Blacks. They're both large chains, and you should have one or other nearby.

Response by poster: Thanks a lot guys, just the kind of quick answers I was hoping for to put my panicking mind at ease! Couldn't spot them on the John Lewis website, but there's one near me so I'll scope it out on foot tomorrow morning - and failing that, I'll try some of the other places mentioned or give the Sigg fellas a call.

If all else fails I guess I could just apologise, blame the shady online retailer and make my loved one wait - but you may just have saved my bacon. Thanks again!

Whole Foods in the States carry them -- it's worth trying the Whole Foods on Kensington!

Can't help you specifically with a shop in London, but I find in Australia, Sigg water bottles are commonly sold at:
- upmarket/trendy gift shops
- travel gear stores
- airport shops (if you feel like going to the airport!)

Good luck!

Try Southampton St. London WC2E 7HA
Loads of outdoorsy shops on the same street. Including Cotswold Outdoor.
