Erstwilder

Founded in 2011 in Melbourne, Australia, Erstwilder began as a small studio crafting charming creature sketches. Initially recognized for playful brooch designs, earrings, and necklaces, the brand has since evolved.

While maintaining a fondness for resin and acrylic, Erstwilder now offers a diverse range of limited-run adornments, including enamel accessories, scarves, and designer bags. With a growing global community and an ever-expanding portfolio, the brand remains dedicated to infusing vintage-inspired artistry into its unique and collectible creations.

“Fashioned to keep your outfits extraordinary and your days dandy”

“Decidedly fun, often outrageous, somewhat quirky, and always delightfully companionable.”

Design Process

Like all creative endeavors, the design journey commences with an idea. While we generate numerous concepts internally, we actively collaborate with our vibrant community to discern their preferences. Interestingly, many of the most brilliant ideas originate from our community members, and we feel privileged to bring their visions to life. Character design, however, is just one facet of our process.

Each piece in the Erstwilder collection weaves its own narrative, complete with a distinctive name and a brief story paying homage to history, mythology, pop culture, and classic storytelling. This distinctive touch transforms an Erstwilder character, or as we affectionately call them, an "Erstwildling," into an ideal gift for anyone passionate about accessorizing.
