CharCharms: Cool Water Bottle Accessories & More

Charlotte Trecartin founded CharCharms while a student at the University of Illinois in Champaign.

She’s proof that Covid actually had many silver linings. So, she took advantage of some of the many resources that the U of I, an engineering and business powerhouse, offers.

And, when Covid hit, she decided to use the extra time to really research and test her idea of customized water bottle charms.

She bought a 3D printer, found a mentor, and started creating online renderings. She tested the concept at local malls, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.

Thus began CharCharms, a thriving online e-commerce business.
