Backpacks Totes Small Bags
handcrafted in britain – guaranteed for life
Wildish (previously BearMade) exists to challenge what it means to be a sustainable business.
Our bags are made in the UK using GOTS certified organic weatherproof dry-waxed cotton canvas and we only make 25 bags a week. That’s our capacity. We have no intention of exponential growth. We just want to make great bags, for awesome people, and have fun doing it.
Since we opened our bag & coffee shop in the Yorkshire dales in 2022 we've slowly started adding a few more things to our Wildish® range.
You won't find hundreds of different products here. Just a few things we use everyday.

a small team doing big things
Making anything leaves a footprint. To make something in the most responsible way possible, we think it needs to last a lifetime, be made locally in small batches and be recyclable.
Let customers speak for us
from 402 reviewsReally pleased with the zero waste wallet. It's well made and is perfect for our upcoming travels!
I wanted a bag that would last me at least a decade of daily use. Hard to tell after a couple of weeks, but I think I've got one. It's really, really well made, robust, feels like it will wear in and age well. It's nicely capacious; I hesitated over this and the Jorvik, but this is plenty big enough for a well-packed weekend away and all daily needs. The rust colour is lovely, not quite as bright and bold as the photos seem.
I was very glad I bought the extra padding for the shoulder straps. Without, I found them a little uncomfortable, cutting in to my armpits or just below. With, it's a very comfy carry. It does add to the price, but I found it worthwhile.
I also bought the 2.6l Ramsgill pouch, which fits very nicely in the bag (without the strap) and provides more internal organisation. And then obviously you can carry both bags together for a little more capacity, or just take the pouch on its own. If you're hesitating over this or the Jorvik, consider the Gouthwaite+Ramsgill combination.
Looks great. Feels great. Amazing build. Would love the possibility of customising sections so maybe something to consider in the future.
I keep the straps in my Jorvik bag so they are always there; they do help when I carry heavier loads. These seemingly humble padded straps reflect the bag's good design, they are functional, comfortable, made with great skill and care from robust, low impact, long-lasting materials. Thank you.
Best backpack ever. Solid, comfortable, clever. Light, great colour and super high quality – feels like it will last forever.
A responsible, sustainable philosophy coupled with experience,and curiosity have produced a bag that is stunning, functional, and comfortable; made with great skill, care and love from low impact, robust, long lasting materials. The 16cm depth of the bag means, when worn as a backpack, the centre of gravity of the contents are close to the body, making it less of strain to carry, Also, perhaps, I will not cause as much chaos turning round in crowded spaces as with my previous backpack. Great bag!
We love your products, having bought a couple of bags, and love your authenticity, having met you both in the shop. So I was delighted to see the new vest design and knew my husband would love it too. He did - he’s mad about pockets!! Brilliant design, materials and style! Looks even better than it did in the promo photos.

Love the story of the company and what they’re looking to achieve. The price transparency is fantastic. The bag is great quality, feels hardy and built to last, and I’m really pleased with my purchase.
Brilliant! Beautifully Made and totally functional
Supremely well made and simply designed. A perfect little every day bag.
Great stuff
Loved it so much I bought two ❤️💪🏻✅💯❤️
This vest is just perfect when I am out and about in my garden. In the kitchen garden, the pockets are deep enough to contain many seed packets, my labels and a pencil! I also always loose my secateurs! Now I have them just to hand when I need them and no chance of finding them in the compost heap years later. This is a practical piece of kit, looks good too so you can’t go wrong.
Well made, perfect for travelling light fishing and a great match with the belt.

who cares wins
Whilst we love making great things, we think there is a lot more we can do with our platform and profits. So we started the Wildish Club. A movement that brings awesome people together to do interesting stuff outdoors.
