Wedgie are, an independent wooden handicrafts company. UK based with close ties with Sri Lanka where the Wedgies are hand-crafted. They inject personality and life into all of their products, taking inspiration from the modern, the retro, the cool, the not-so-cool, the famous, the not-so-famous, stereotypes and much more. Their aim is to deliver a high-quality, handmade product with excellent design and something that will ultimately bring a smile to your face.
Wedgie are proud to be part of an incentive scheme based in Sri Lanka aimed at the empowerment of men and women based in rural areas of the country. Unpainted doorstops are delivered directly to employeesʼ houses, along with
paints, brushes and tools. Once painted and completed, the Wedgies are paid for on collection. This allows people in rural communities the convenience of earning an income whilst going about their daily routines and we love that about them, not only are they producing these beautiful, functional items but they’re also helping out!
