Welcome to Honest Wolf
Lovely to meet you. We are a designer woollen bag and accessory brand, born in New Zealand’s back country. Our range spans everything from tote bags, duffle bags, and travel bags, to briefcases, wallets, backpacks and caps. Our pieces are made with Papanui Estate Wool and ethically sourced local leather. They are designed right here in New Zealand, and crafted to withstand the farm before they take on the city.
