Sustainability

Limited production
We feel responsible for everything we put out into the world.

That’s why we make bags in small batches, producing only what’s needed and nothing more.

Materials
Our hardwearing, weatherproof dry-waxed cotton is GOTS-certified organic, using 88% less water and 62% less energy than conventional cotton. It is made without toxic chemicals and is almost plastic-free (we use a recycled polyester thread for strength and longevity).

Wildish Club
All profits from Wildish go to Wildish Club, a non-profit building communities across the UK to help people get outside together.

WildishReMade
Our bags are made to last, but we know not every bag stays in use forever. If yours is no longer being used, we will take it back in exchange for Wildish credit worth 10% of its original value. We will then reuse and recycle the materials to make something new.

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.

Recycled wool

The recycled wool felt in this padding comes from West Yorkshire. Being wool it's naturally breathable and very comfortable.

Design notes

Our 50mm cotton webbing straps are very comfy on their own, but for those who are carrying particular heavy things for a long period of time, we designed these padded strap add-ons to keep them comfy all day long.

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.

A perfect edition...

.. to my lovely Gouthwaite bag. These make a real difference if you’re carrying a heavy load. Really simple to click on and remove from your shoulder straps if don’t need them to take the strain of extra weight in your bag. Super swift delivery too. Great service again from Wildish.

Great pads plus Great service

Fitted the now many years old bag! Makes a big difference when filling the bag with heavy stuff and full, shoulders feeling the difference 😁

Great add-on

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.

Beautiful, solid and eases heavier loads

A beautiful waxes canvas set of straps, and no plastic within them - but tough and goes perfectly with my matching orange Yorvik bag. They clip on and off easily and feel so solid with buttons instead of zips that can compromise and wear down quicker. It is so rare to find well-crafted and non-plastic addition to straps, for heavier loads - and knowing that the money spent goes to the development of Wildwish workshops, and the illuminating human beings that are Oz and Nell. These straps are robust and comfortable as the material moulds, like the bag, in shape to your own shoulders. I love these so much that I end up keeping them on all the time - and I find they help with easing friction which can occur if one is a cyclist like me: as the bag can sway from side to side, as any backpack can, when cycling. I haven't tested how quickly these dry during a rainshower, (in order to not have wet shoulders for a long time) but i'm sure living in Scotland and cycling daily will test this theory soon. The only other thing I am curious about, which I haven't yet tested, is putting the removable sternum/chest strap around them. I find the straps do not slip much, but it depends on the clothing material being worn next to them, too.

Shoulder Strap Padding

Comfortable padded straps for carrying heavy loads. Excellent eco friendly ethos from a wonderful company.
