Solkatt Designs Launches into New Zealand: Premium Drinkware & Barware Now Available for Wholesale
Solkatt Designs is proud to officially launch into the New Zealand market, bringing our bold, functional, and design-led drinkware and barware to customers and retailers across Aotearoa. As an Australian-owned and operated brand, we have built a strong reputation for high-quality stainless steel drinkware, water bottles, travel cups, stubby coolers, and unique whisky glassware that customers genuinely use every day. With growing demand from New Zealand customers and businesses, expanding across the Tasman was a natural next step.
This launch also opens exciting wholesale opportunities in New Zealand for retailers, gift stores, cafés, gyms, tattoo studios, corporate buyers, and lifestyle stores looking to stock drinkware and barware that stands out, performs, and sells consistently.
A Trusted Australian Drinkware Brand, Now Shipping to New Zealand
Solkatt Designs operates from our warehouse just south of Brisbane, Queensland, supplying customers throughout Australia. Our products are designed with real-world use in mind, combining durability, practical features, and eye-catching colours. As we expand into New Zealand, customers can now enjoy easier access, reliable shipping, and the same trusted quality that has made our brand popular in Australia.
For New Zealand retailers, this means partnering with an established Australian drinkware brand that already understands the local market, climate, and lifestyle similarities shared across Australia and New Zealand.
Stainless Steel Drinkware Built for Everyday Use
One of our most popular categories is stainless steel drinkware. Designed for durability and temperature control, our range suits busy lifestyles, outdoor adventures, and everyday routines.
Travel Cups and Reusable Coffee Cups
Our insulated travel cups and reusable coffee cups are a strong performer for both retail and wholesale customers. Featuring double-wall insulation, they help keep drinks hot for up to 6–8 hours and cold for up to 12 hours. A secure lid and non-slip base make them ideal for commuting, road trips, camping, and office use.
Keywords naturally aligned with this range include travel mugs, best travel mug, travel mugs Australia, reusable coffee cup, coffee cups with lid, and best travel coffee mug Australia. These same search behaviours are now growing in New Zealand, making travel cups a high-demand product for cafés and gift retailers.
Stainless Steel Water Bottles
Our stainless steel water bottles are available in a wide range of sizes and bold colours, including our popular Tradie water bottles and ombre water bottles. Built to handle tough conditions, they are suitable for worksites, gyms, schools, camping, and daily hydration.
The 1.9L Tradie water bottles, featuring an exclusive Solkatt Designs original design, are particularly popular with tradespeople and outdoor workers. Smaller sizes like 650ml and 950ml cater to lifestyle, fitness, and everyday use. For wholesale buyers in New Zealand, water bottles remain a consistent, year-round seller.
Insulated Stubby Coolers
Our insulated stubby coolers are designed to keep drinks cold for longer, whether at the beach, campsite, barbecue, or backyard gathering. Made from stainless steel and finished in bold colours, they are a practical add-on item for retailers and an easy upsell for customers.
Distinctive Whisky Glasses and Barware
Solkatt Designs is also well known for our unique whisky glasses and barware accessories. Unlike stainless steel drinkware, our whisky glasses are crafted from high-quality glass and crystal styles, offering a premium feel for gifting and home bars.
Whisky Glasses and Glassware
Our whisky glass range includes rounded bottom glasses, Japanese-style whisky glasses, crystal whisky tumblers, and statement designs that appeal to collectors and gift buyers. Popular search terms associated with this range include whisky glasses, whisky glass set, whiskey glass, scotch glasses, crystal whiskey glasses, unique whiskey glasses, fancy whiskey glasses, and Japanese whisky glasses.
These products are especially well suited for bottle shops, gift stores, men’s gift retailers, and online stores in New Zealand looking to offer something different from standard glassware.
Barware Accessories
In addition to glassware, our barware range includes slate drink coasters, whisky stones, automatic bottle openers, wine opener gift sets, and stainless steel straws. These accessories pair perfectly with whisky glasses and drinkware, helping retailers increase average order value through bundled or gift-ready options.
Designed for the Australian and New Zealand Lifestyle
Australia and New Zealand share similar outdoor-focused lifestyles, making Solkatt Designs products a natural fit across both markets. From camping and beach days to gym sessions and long workdays, our drinkware is designed to be practical, durable, and visually striking.
Bright and bold colours dominate our stainless steel drinkware range, while darker tones and refined finishes are used across our glassware and bar accessories. This balance allows retailers to merchandise products clearly by category while maintaining a cohesive brand look.
Trusted Retail Partnerships Across Australia
Solkatt Designs is proud to be partnered with leading Australian retail channels, including the Dan Murphy’s Australia online marketplace, boutique liquor stores, and smaller retail stores. We have even ventured into Hervey Bay’s best and trusted tattoo studio in Queensland, expanding our presence into unique local retailers that connect with lifestyle-focused customers.
Being featured alongside established liquor retailers and select boutique stores means our whisky glasses, barware accessories, and drinkware are positioned in front of customers who actively purchase whisky, spirits, and premium gifts. This exposure has helped strengthen brand awareness and drive consistent demand across Australia.
For New Zealand retailers, this provides confidence that Solkatt Designs products are already proven in real retail environments and supported by strong consumer interest.
