About WildWood Wearables

WildWood items,  including  handbags,  apparel  and hats,  are one-of-a-kind and will never be duplicated. Each is uniquely handcrafted using new, vintage,  reused and upcycled materials. Designed to be as functional as they are fashionable in a wide variety of styles, sizes, colors, and textures.

WildWood  was  born  out  of  a  passion  for  shopping  retail  and  vintage  stores,  for  finding  inspiration  in  art,  designer  boutiques and  fabric  stores,  and  for sewing  and  creating  something  that  is  completely  unique.  There  is  something  wonderful  about  playing  with  fabrics,  embellishments,  and  hardware  until   a  handbag  is  brought  to  life.  There  is  something  equally  satisfying  about  making  a  new  lining  and  changing  the  handles  that  elevates  an  existing  handbag  found  at  a  secondhand  store  so  it  does  not  end  up  in  a  landfill.  Upcycling  by  definition  is the act of taking something no longer in use and giving it a second life and new function. In doing so, the finished product often becomes more practical, valuable and beautiful than what it previously was.  Using pieces of  an  embroidered  pillow  to  decorate  the  back  of  a  vintage  jacket ,  using  a  cool  drawer  pull  for  a  top  handle  on  a  handbag  or embellishing  a  vintage  image  printed  on  fabric  to  attach  to  a velvet  pillow  are  typical  of  the  type  of  upcycling  that  can  be  found  in  the  WildWood  assortment.
