Ethos

ETHOS

Studio Wylder is built on a slower, more considered approach to making and wearing clothes.

We produce in small batches, choosing quality over quantity and designing beyond the traditional seasonal cycle. Our collections are made to be worn repeatedly, kept for longer and, when needed, repaired, passed on and lived in.

We believe that good design and responsible production should go hand in hand. We work closely with our makers, favouring considered production, fair working practices and materials chosen with their environmental impact in mind.

ATTITUDE

We design for longevity rather than trend.

Many of our pieces are designed to transcend seasons, allowing us to produce only what is needed and reduce unnecessary overproduction. We favour versatile silhouettes and thoughtful proportions that can be worn in different ways and across many years.

We deliberately keep our production small and our collections focused. Where possible, we design shapes that can be worn across a range of bodies, reducing the need for excessive size-based production and limiting unsold stock.

The aim is simple: to make clothes you want to keep wearing until they are worn out — and to make them worth repairing, passing on and wearing again.

MATERIALS

Our approach begins with the fibre.

We prioritise natural, organic and responsibly sourced materials, alongside fabrics that already exist and might otherwise go to waste.

We work with Kala cotton, a traditional Indian cotton handwoven by small-scale artisan workshops, as well as carefully sourced organic and certified sustainable fabrics.

We also use luxury overstock fabrics that have already been produced but would otherwise be discarded, giving existing materials a longer life.

Our one-of-a-kind sheepskin pieces are made exclusively from sheepskin that is a by-product of the farming industry. We also work with overstock skins, meaning each piece may combine different hides and become inherently unique.

We choose materials for their quality, longevity and feel, while continually looking for better ways to reduce waste and make with greater consideration.
