About Us
WildSage Apparel offers distinct lines of footwear and accessories sure to catch the eye and distinguish you from the crowd.
WildSage Apparel started as an answer to my search for a uniquely styled pair of casual shoes I could wear to run around town while doing errands. Something comfortable, durable and stylish.
I had been searching online for several days trying to find something that would compliment my sense of style but to no avail. I wanted something unique, not some run-of-the mill, off the shelf product manufactured for wide consumption.
I did however, (more out of shoppers exhaustion than fulfillment) find something I thought might do, but after receiving them I was disappointed in the poor quality and craftsmanship. The colors were faded, the craftsmanship shoddy.
I have been an artist and designer for close to twenty years which is why my daughter suggested that I design a pair myself. Thus, WildSage Apparel was born.
Our Team
We are basically a family outfit, born of Native American (Shawnee), Irish, Chinese, Italian and Swedish roots if you include the three of us beginning this venture (Myself, Timothy (Native American (Shawnee) my daughter Nakaia (Shawnee, Italian and Chinese), and my wife Makya (Lakota & Swedish). Quite the combo platter of gene pools but it makes for a very interesting conglomeration of cultural styles and artistic influences. We hope this is reflected in our product designs.
Our Mission
We strive to bring you unique, elegant and one-of-a-kind items that are individually designed and created only upon order so as to limit overproduction and waste. We are firm believers in sustainable lifestyles and minimalist effects on our environment.
Did you know that of the 100 billion garments produced each year, 92 million tons end up in landfills?
To put things in perspective, this means that the equivalent of a rubbish truck full of clothes ends up on landfill sites every second. If the trend continues, the number of fast fashion waste is expected to soar up to 134 million tons a year by the end of the decade. This is why we choose to only create a product when we receive your order.
We are also open to designing a product for you from your own thoughts and ideas. If you are interested in something like this, feel free to contact us and let us know what you have in mind.
