Our Approach
Wander Studio is a footwear design and sourcing service, committed to design, innovation and production with sustainability at its core.We are very aware that the fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world. More specifically, the footwear industry is a major contributor. We have been part of this business for many decades and now that we run our own business we want to ensure we are doing things the right way. We believe in a slow approach to fashion. We don’t produce trend boards, or seasonal colour palettes. We believe in longevity, and this is even more profound for your footwear business.We are serious about our approach to sustainability which is why we only partner with factories who are truly aligned with the vision, and are following their own journey to become more responsible about their business practices. The factories we are work with specialise in the highest quality production. Constantly researching and keeping up to date with the latest news and developments, our overall aim is to minimise our footprint and impact on the environment as much as possible. Having this approach from the outset means that being more environmentally conscious is not an after thought.We have set up Wander Studio to forge our own path in the industry we are so passionate about, and we would love you join us on the journey.

Collaborate
We are passionate about innovation and always so fascinated to collaborate with people that are pushing boundaries in our industry.To make progress we need to think about doing things in new ways, which is what we always like to do when approaching new projects. Investigating how we can integrate new technologies or practices is what we love best, and we have partner factories who also share this vision.If you are working on something interesting we would love to hear about it!
