Consumers have become increasingly aware of the need for sustainable and ethical retail practice and they aim to ensure that the future of retail is a responsible one, where independent designers are incentivised to manufacture and source sustainably and ethically and that they, as a retailer, uphold these values. Wolf & Badger is now home to over 1000 fashion and design brands.
