Sustainability

Limited production

We feel responsible for everything we put out into the world. To make sure we keep our impact as low as possible we only make 25 bags a week.

Materials

Our hardwearing, weatherproof, GOTS certified organic dry-waxed cotton uses 88% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. It also uses zero toxic chemicals in its production.

This bag is almost plastic-free (we use a recycled polyester thread).

WildishReMade

Our bags are made to last a lifetime, but we get that not everyone wants to keep something that long.

To avoid your bag ending up in the back of the closet, or worse, the bin, we will take your bag back in exchange for Wildish credit (10% of the bags original value).

We will then recycle the parts from that bag and make it into something new.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I fit in this bag?

This is a hard question to answer as so many things are different shapes and sizes. However, for city use we typically take a 16" or 14" laptop and/or tablet, a large pair of headphones, a magazine, a book/notebook a jumper, a jacket and a bottle of water. There's also enough space for your gym kit or a full change of clothes if you cycle to work.

It also works great for a food shop. You could comfortably fit about 8 medium sized cauliflowers in it.

Are your bags waterproof?

Our bags are not totally waterproof, very few are. But they are pretty damn close. We spent an hour throwing them around in a waterfall and water only got in when we forgot to roll the top down....

Can I customise this bag?

Sometimes we can, sometimes we can't. It depends on the product. If you want to know more, send us an email and let us know what product you would like to personalise, along with what sort of personalisation you would like.

Why do you make bags in small batches?

Making only what’s needed helps keep our impact as low as possible and avoids producing bags that never get used. It also allows us to focus on quality and longevity rather than volume, and to stay accountable for every bag we make.

Made by Amy, Ray & Rowan

Every Wildish bag is made in small batches by highly skilled hands in Suffolk, Leeds and Glasgow.

Amy, Ray and Rowan have collectively been making bags for over 40 years. They take our ideas and turn them into something useful, beautiful and built to last.

We work with people who care deeply about their craft, and we only make what we know we can stand behind.

Material highlights

Our bags are made from GOTS certified organic dry-waxed cotton canvas from British Millerain in Lancashire. They have been dyeing and proofing cotton for over 100 years and this material is one of their latest creations. It has a totally dry finish (dry-waxed doesn't always mean totally), is waterproof, PFC free, and is machine washable! However, we don't recommend you wash it often.

Design notes

I love tote bags. They are just so useful. Annoyingly most of them aren't that great. They don't last particularly long and are uncomfortable to carry when there is a bit of weight in them. So I thought I would try and make something better.

Our impact

We feel personally responsible for the things we put out into the world and believe business should be a force for good.

To keep our impact low we:

→ Only make in small batches
→ Will repair your bag for life
→ Will recycle your bag at the end of its life
→ Make highly considered material choices

wildish club

A bit like Cubs, but for adults.

Meet people, make friends, do things.

Wildish Club started with two people (the founders of Wildish) looking for others to spend time with outside.

Now, it’s a growing community across the UK, meeting up to explore, talk, and connect, and it's funded by Wildish.
