"Fernweh"- (Noun)
A farsickness, an ache and longing for far off places, a craving for travel. A yearning to explore off the beaten path, into the unknown.
Sustainability
Sustainability & creating minimal waste is at the core of our brand. We all have a responsibility to look after this wonderful land, and at Fernweh we believe this is through making products that are built to last, minimising any waste and being ethical and as conscious as possible in our designs
Handcrafted
We believe in doing things properly, creating well designed products from rugged, traditional fabrics and materials that will last a lifetime. Each and every Fernweh piece is designed and sewn with the utmost care and attention in our Aberdeen studio by our founder Laura. Buy less. Choose well. Make it last.
Adventure
We are inspired by a passion for adventure and are lucky enough to have the Cairngorms and Scottish Highlands on our doorstep, a wealth of inspiration. However, we passionately believe adventure is for everyone, anywhere. Hike, climb, wander; adventure is all around us from the mountain peaks to urban cities. Go further. Stay curious.

We believe in making slowly crafted goods using the highest quality materials and processes, to create pieces with longevity to minimise our impact on the planet and landfill.
