Our Story
About the Brand
Band of the Wild is where childhood runs barefoot, curiosity is king, and every set of pajamas is the start of a brand-new story.
Our world begins at day one: from preemie to ten years, every child is welcomed into a universe where pajamas become costumes and every costume is the start of an adventure. Grown-ups get to join too—our family matching pieces stretch all the way to adult, so the wild rumpus can be for everyone, every age.
For the Littlest Dreamers (and the Biggest)
Our pieces are designed for babies discovering their toes, toddlers tumbling, twirling, and roaring, and older kids determined to never quite grow up. Band of the Wild is for families who believe play has no limits, age is just a number, and the best days end with grass stains and tangled hair.
Play Without Boundaries
Every piece is made to become whatever a child imagines: one day a dragon in the sky, the next a gentle bear at nap time, a bold explorer on a rainy Tuesday, or simply a soft cocoon for morning cuddles. Roomy fits and thoughtful details let little bodies bend, roll, leap, and snuggle—encouraging real movement, not just pretty photos.
Crafted for Imagination, Stitched for Our Planet
At Band of the Wild, sustainability isn’t an add-on—it’s core to every adventure. All costumes are made in small batches in California, which drastically reduces shipping emissions and guarantees ethical working conditions. We use premium, soft cotton for comfort and durability, supporting every moment from newborn softness to big kid bravado.
Our prints are made using a process that uses far less water than conventional techniques, making it the most eco-friendly form of textile printing available today.
Thirty percent of every costume is constructed with deadstock fabric—surplus, high-quality material left unused by other designers and mills. Instead of being discarded or burned, these beautiful, premium materials find new life in our creations. Deadstock is top-tier, unused fabric, never secondhand, adding both sustainability and unique character to every piece. It’s a cornerstone of circular fashion, helping us keep extra textiles out of landfills.
From compostable or recycled mailers and recycled hang tags to labels that biodegrade, every detail is chosen to leave a trail of joy, not waste.
The Band’s Spirit
Band of the Wild is inspired by children’s ability to create kingdoms out of couches and jungles out of parks. Our brand is playful, a little rebellious, connected to nature, and guided by a core belief that adventure begins in pajamas.
We strive to make comfort epic, routines magical, and family memories wild at heart. We’re here for moonlit campouts in the living room, dandelion wishes, singalongs instead of screen time, and parent-child packs set to explore the world (or at least the backyard).
Who Leads the Band?
This tribe was founded by a maker, dreamer, and parent who still believes in wishing on stars and growing wild things. Band of the Wild is a love letter to freedom, to the natural world, and to the kind of play that doesn’t need instructions.
Band of the Wild: for families that roam, dream, and imagine—together.
