About Grit & Grace Water Bottle Accessories

 I started Grit & Grace - Water Bottle Accessories in 2022. I had just overcome a unexpected illness and was ready to do something fun, fabulous and fantastic that also brought meaning to my life. This was a TALL Order!


I started my journey with a Cutting Machine and a Dream to Accessorize Tumbler Cups with Bows. I wanted to make Hydration pretty and to help people drink more Water and be Healthier.


From Handmade Bows to Bottle Boots, to Charms I wanted to offer everything my customers would want for Hydration Accessories.

Grit & Grace Store, LLC, Fall 2025.

We have grown from a room in my Home to an Office and Warehouse in 3 years. We carry over 1,600 Products, and are still Handmaking our Bows, Baubles, Charms and More in Austin, TX.


I live in Austin, TX with my amazing husband Kolin. We have two sons, Charlie & Jacob who we love dearly. We are also Pet Parents to Blue, Tilley & Bindi the Pomsky. Our life is complete.


I strongly believe wellness starts with something as simple as water. Our stylish accessories are designed to inspire hydration—because studies show a beautiful cup encourages you to drink more. We help you stay well in style.


We are so glad you are here! 


Thanks for taking the time to read about Grit & Grace and my journey.


With Love, Elizabeth

The Whitley Family
