The company prides itself on bringing new life to traditional vintage fabrics, saving materials from going to waste by re-using them in a way that appeals to the modern market. The caps are made from unique garments, meaning each pattern or design is only available in limited numbers.

To see the caps on the streets of New York in the company’s ad campaign, head over to the W@nder Fabric website and online store. While they’re currently delivering within Japan only, the newly established company is seeking overseas buyers to distribute the caps internationally, especially for the U.S. market, so it shouldn’t be too long before you can purchase one of these unique caps in your area.
