Wedgie

About Wedgie

Wedgie is an independent British brand that makes handcrafted door stops. Mark and Hayley launched it in 2014 after meeting in Sri Lanka, where they were drawn to the skill of local artisans. They partnered with a local craftsman, Mahendra, and the door stops are made in Sri Lanka from sustainable Alstonia wood, handpainted by artisans in rural areas. The brand runs an ethical incentive scheme that offers fair wages and flexible working conditions. The finish is non-toxic and scratch-resistant, so the pieces cope with daily use. The designs are playful nods to well-known celebrities, with names like Pabs, Pelvis The King and Our Kid The Indie Rocker, which makes them popular as gifts.
