Our Mission
We create products that inspire people to get out and live passionate lives; exploring, creating, and living life in the moment.
From the company we're building to the products we design to the systems we put in place, we take a long term perspective. In a world of instant gratification and quick fixes, we live by the mantra "the juice is worth the squeeze". We don't cut corners. We put quality above all else. Simply put, we build things to last.
It’s crazy to think this little idea we had in mom and dad’s kitchen has reached people in over 100 different countries.
I'll never forget the moment that WANDRD was born. Spencer and I were sitting in our parents' kitchen and complaining about the lack of options for a quality camera bag. He was planning a trip to Paris to shoot pictures at Fashion Week, and I had just booked a small camper van in New Zealand for 10 days. At that point we had done months of research (and purchased many bags), and we realized we had two options — either a camera bag that functioned OK and looked terrible, or a bag that looked OK and functioned terribly.
He finally said, “Why don’t we just make our own?” and you know, it just felt right. So with all the gusto and ignorance of a couple twenty-something-year-olds, we set off on a mission to create the world's best travel camera bag.
Wandrd Today
We still firmly believe that we’re not a product company. We’re a company that exists to inspire people to get out and live passionate lives. And all of this – everything we’ve done and continue to reach for – wouldn’t be possible without you. We’re excited for the road ahead and hope that our paths cross with yours somewhere out there.
May you constantly wander,
Ryan, Spencer, and Austin Cope
