The world is full of places to go.
Some are marked on maps. Others are discovered quite by accident.
🧭
Our Four Points of the Compass bag was designed for those journeys in between. The unexpected detours. The hidden laneways. The favourite café you'll never find again. The moments that become stories.
☕️
Crafted from natural fibres- jute and cotton, finished with adjustable leather straps and our signature compass-inspired stitching, it's a bag that feels as though it's already travelled a little before it found you.
Shown here in Persian Blue, a colour inspired by distant horizons and endless skies.
Where would you take yours?

Practical. Comfortable. Unmistakably unique.
For those who want their accessories to tell a story. 🌿

There’s something very special about reading words like these. 🤍

Every 5 star review helps small businesses like ours more than you might realise — not just through algorithms and visibility, but through encouragement too.

After 36 years of Where The Wilde Things Are, I still feel genuinely grateful every time a customer takes a moment to leave kind words, send a photo from their travels, or share how one of our bags has become part of everyday life.

This little business has always been built on connection, storytelling, travel, and meaningful journeys… and reviews like this remind me why I still love doing what I do. ✨

Thank you, truly, for supporting small business and for taking us along on your adventures. 🌍🤍

Warm gingerbread. Spiced Christmas pudding.
Night Before Christmas turns any space into a Christmas wonderland — and makes the most beautiful festive gift. 🎄✨

We made one last batch - same candles, slightly different jars (no lids) and there's just a few left. Dm me if you'd like one, before they're gone for another year. $39.95.
