It’s nice to look back and share some early visuals that were designed by

I was in my third year of university wondering how I could build on the ideas from my course around sustainable product design. I didn’t think anyone would pay me to grow mushrooms and as with most my projects they were great in theory but lacked in application, but the idea of a shop started to take shape + was brought together by bigger synchronicity’s, family events & a naive determination!

The Common Wanderer Intended to inspire Outdoor lifestyles through a curated mix of products that balance a responsible approach to design. Function, Form, and good ethics underpin the labels we carry & whilst these are all subjective to an extent, it has always kept us on a track as to why & how we trade and the labels we represent.

The name, came from browsing an Insect book years prior with ‘The Common Wanderer’ being a species of butterfly.

With the never ending mizzle of West Cornwall, it seems fitting to introduce the Thunder Pass jacket from this thing is properly WATERPROOF with a water pressure resistance of 20,000mm. It’s one of the best cost to spec jackets we’ve come across + is cut in a true to size boxy shape for layering and to minimise seam fabric. In store & online for Wmn’s + Men’s 🌧️ 🐚 🏔️
