The Sienna Dumpling bag is your new Mary Poppins bag, but cuter 🤭 A customer from a recent market ordered her in the stunning blue and I LOVE IT so making her available online to the rest of you.
She is fully lined with blue palm print lining, and includes an internal pocket. Shes simply quite lovely 🫶

*Buys for self then tells hubs secret Santa was generous this year*🎅🏼🤭

I don’t make perfect handbags…
I make rad outfits *

{I was born in 1986, Im allowed to use the word Rad!}

My bags and wallets are the perfect excuse to buy handmade and local! If you look carefully, they show evidence of being made by me, can you find them?

Sonder and Wilde came from a love of creating, and the need for honest, quality leather goods

Good things come to those who choose from my range of MOSS Leather goods. Shown here is the Wildflower wallet, The Gigi and the Hartleigh.
•Matte top-grain cow hide
•Gets better after wear
•Versatile tone of green that goes with many things

Nobody puts baby… on the shelf!

It’s ok darling, you don’t have to get me anything for my birthday *side eyes husband* 🤭
Add a 💜🐆or 🤎 for which new strap colour is your fave

The say your accessories are an extension of your personality… I tend to agree 🙌

Are you the arrives late, the dances on tables, trend setting, social butterfly?

Or the thoughtfully funny genius who prefers a one-on-one convo and a more 'toned-down' approach?

Or the bold creative type whose life motto is 'more is more?

Sonder and Wilde is the perfect brand when looking for a bag and/or wallet to express your true self, without saying a word. Create your own combo of colours, strap and bag lining with your own S&W!

See you there!

Hey you, thanks for stopping by 🫶 I’m Rowena, the face {and hands} behind Sonder and Wilde.

I do everything from designing, pattern making, bench work, sewing, social media, ordering, packing, .

I am a mum to the sweetest two girls (14 months apart) so this is my creative outlet to help me feel more me.

Sonder goods are made to order but I do have a small selection of ready-to-ship items on my website {link in bio}. Stay tuned for a couple of upcoming markets in Auckland.

Hey Auckland friends 🙋🏻‍♀️My last market of 2022! 🔔 Tomorrow, Sunday 27th Nov in Long Bay Village
•Shop some beautiful local brands and pick up brunch/ lunch from the food trucks before heading to the beach for a stroll 🏖️
•If you know me personally or have seen me at markets around Auckland and The Mount the last few months you will have noticed the giant belly growing. I still have 4 weeks to go until I meet my second girl which I am so excited about, but the market life is getting a bit much.
•You can still shop online as let’s be honest, I probably won’t be able to stay out of the workshop

Those extra Black Friday sales would be so handy right now… but, I won’t be participating in BFCM! Read on friends…

☀️Well firstly, it’s an American large corp tradition, that promotes mass consumption, and this goes against the ethos I have built S&W on.

☀️Second, as a one-woman operation I simply cannot compete. I believe in the slow fashion movement. Buy less, choose well, make it last.
I would so much appreciate your support over BFCM weekend 🥰

Yes I have run sales in the past but at my own discretion and for reasons to celebrate something.

Sure, if you have been eyeing something up for a while and waiting for this discount, go on treat yourself to a discount, those larger companies can handle it. But I also challenge you to support small business these holidays 💪 .nz

Now this is what I call I lineup 🖤🌿 🐆
November has an epic lineup of upcoming Summer markets for me at Nov 5th, Nov 13th, and Nov 27th🌻🍉
