The Origins of Wayfarer


I’d always dreamed of living abroad. Of experiencing something outside the comfort and familiarity I was used to. It was something I often found myself daydreaming about. The idea of exploring places unknown lit my soul on fire like nothing else in my life ever had. This dream seemed quite far-fetched, but I was determined. And so I set the wheels in motion to make that dream, a reality.

And a reality it did become. Over the past several years (over half a decade, to be precise) I’ve had the honor and utmost privilege of calling some of the world’s most stunning destinations home. Living amongst different cultures, experiencing their way of life, and appreciating the differences between all of us was a daily occurrence. It was a feeling I often found myself trying to bottle up – so I could open it up, and revisit the memory anytime I wanted. It was the feeling of sharing that moment with friends, of creating an experience we could return to again and again.

And thus, a new dream was born.

Enter, Wayfarer. Wayfarer is a travel emporium, un maison de voyage, if you will – made for the lost art of slow travel. Our city-inspired products are created for curious wanderers and star-crossed travelers. To inspire, to remember, and to transport you. To relish in the wonder of this world. To embrace the pages still unwritten and the stories yet to be told. And to help you in the endless pursuit of cultivating an adventure-filled life.


INTRODUCING THE WAYFARER COLLECTION


Our debut collection is inspired by the places I’ve been lucky enough to call home over the past half a decade – Amsterdam, Rome, and Barcelona. Each product is an ode to the city, a love letter if you will, to whisk you away to its shores. Every piece in our collection is thoughtfully crafted to enhance your travel experiences and allow you to carry a piece of the world with you, no matter where you are. From niche perfumes to luxury travel guides, and linen travel journals – our collection was created to inspire the journey, to relish in the memories, and to transport you back to those cherished moments.

UNISEX NICHE PARFUMS: TO TRANSPORT YOU

And all at once, a place that was once unfamiliar, became as comforting as our favorite scent. A feeling evoked that felt like coming home. There is sense more powerful, than that of scent. One inhale can transport you back to a moment, a memory that is forever imprinted on your world. Our unisex niche perfume collection, crafted in Grasse, France, are designed to transport you back to some of the world’s most iconic cities – and the memories that coincide with them.

Our niche perfumes are artfully crafted to be more than just fragrances—they’re stories told through scent. Handcrafted in Grasse, France, every bottle is a love letter to cities that live within us. From the vibrant streets of Barcelona to the ancient echoes of Rome, and the storied canals of Amsterdam, each spritz pulls you deeper into the essence of each place. And allows you to journey back to some of your most cherished moments through the power of scent.

Our debut niche perfumes are launching later this year. Join the waitlist to be the first to know, and get 10% off any order you place.

LINEN TRAVEL JOURNALS: TO REMEMBER THE JOURNEY

There is something powerful about putting pen to paper – the art of remembering transcribed through your own point of view. Our handcrafted travel journals are more than just notebooks—they are a place to capture your adventures, your thoughts, and the memories you make along the way. Whether you’re catching the train through the Italian countryside and want to remember the feeling of that moment, or sipping a cappuccino at a café in Amsterdam, and reflecting on the world around you – our linen travel journals are crafted to help you remember postcards from the present. Our linen travel journals are arriving later this year. Join the waitlist to get 10% off your order, and be the first to know when they launch.

BESPOKE TRAVEL GUIDES: TO INSPIRE YOU

Part coffee table book, part travel guide, our carefully curated collection of bespoke city guides are crafted for those who want to fully immerse themselves in the culture of the places they visit. Featuring handpicked recommendations by our team for where to sip, stay, eat, and play, our guides encourage you to wander off the beaten path and experience each city like a local. Our debut collection isn’t your average travel guide, each featured city is a place that we’ve had the pleasure to not just visit, but to live. And now, we want to share that magic with you. Our debut travel guides – featuring Amsterdam, Rome and Barcelona, will be available for purchase in early 2025.


An Ode To The Lost Art of Slow Travel


Wayfarer (noun) A traveler, especially on foot

In a fast-paced world, slowing down has become a luxury. We believe that slow travel allows you to truly immerse yourself in the places you visit—whether it’s sipping an espresso in a tucked-away café or wandering through ancient streets where the journey itself is just as memorable as the destination. The art of slow travel is about savoring these moments, about the connection we feel to the world around us when we take the time to truly experience it.

At Wayfarer, our products are inspired by this philosophy. Each item we create invites you to embrace a slower pace, to appreciate the finer details, and to make lasting memories. For us, travel isn’t just about where you’re going, but how you experience the journey along the way.

The art of slow travel, where every step is savored, every scent, sight, and sound is fully experienced, is at the heart of what we do. Our brand was born from a love of exploration, a desire to connect with the world in a more meaningful way.

Join The Waitlist for 10% Off Niche Perfumes & Luxury Travel Guides

Each product we offer is a reflection of our love for travel, the insatiable sense of adventure that exists within each of us, and our belief in the beauty of slowing down to truly experience the world around us. Every item in our collection is designed to inspire your next adventure. Whether you’re a seasoned traveler or simply someone who appreciates the finer things in life, Wayfarer offers a world of exploration at your fingertips. We’re so happy you’re here.
