At Wilde Mode, every product begins with one simple intention:
to create clothing that feels safe, soft, inclusive, and genuinely comfortable on real bodies.
We design everything in-house in Dundee, Scotland, with a strong focus on:
Sensory comfort
Soft, breathable fabrics
Gentle construction
Inclusive sizing
Gender-inclusive design
Emotional and physical safety in clothing
Many of our customers are autistic, ADHD, or sensory-sensitive, and we take that responsibility seriously. We know that seams, labels, fabric textures, pressure points, and unpredictability in fit or feel can make clothing distressing rather than supportive. That’s why comfort and consistency come first in our design process.
Most of our core underwear range is handmade in our Dundee studio by our small in-house team.
This includes:
Briefs
Thongs
Boxers and pouched boxers
Comfort tops
Core everyday bras
Some limited edition and collaboration pieces
These items are:
Cut and sewn by hand
Made slowly and thoughtfully
Produced in small batches or made to order
Designed to be tag-free wherever possible
Constructed with soft seams and gentle elastics
Tested for sensory comfort and everyday wearability
Handmaking these items in-house allows us to:
Control quality very closely
Make sensory-led design choices
Adapt construction based on customer feedback
Offer a much wider and more inclusive size range
Reduce waste and overproduction
This is the heart of Wilde Mode and where our brand began.
Some specialist items are made for us by a trusted third-party manufacturing partner in Latvia.
These include items that require:
Industrial knitting or compression machinery
Technical performance stitching
Heat-sealed seams
Specialist sportswear construction
For example:
Sports bras
Longline sports bras
Leggings
Rash guards
Performance tops
Swimwear
Some activewear and loungewear styles
We use this partner only where in-house production is not currently possible due to machinery or technical limitations.
This allows us to:
Offer supportive and durable activewear
Create compression and performance garments
Expand into swimwear and sportswear
Provide more styles, functions, and fabric types
Give customers more choice in how they dress and move
All third-party partners are carefully chosen to meet our:
Ethical labour standards
Quality standards
Sustainability values
Every one of these items is still:
Designed by Wilde Mode
Size-graded by us
Fit-tested by us
Reviewed for comfort and sensory impact
They are Wilde Mode products in every meaningful way - just produced using specialist equipment we don’t yet have in-house.
Some items made by our Latvian partner are fulfilled via our EU logistics hub in the Netherlands.
This means:
A small number of orders may show a non-UK shipping origin
The product label may list Latvia as the country of manufacture
This is purely logistical and does not change:
Who designed the product
Who owns the brand
Our values or standards
Our responsibility for quality and comfort
We understand that consistency, clarity, and trust really matter - especially for autistic and sensory-sensitive customers.
We would love to make everything in Dundee one day. Right now, that simply isn’t technically or financially possible for performance and compression garments.
Using a trusted European partner allows us to:
Keep our core underwear handmade in Scotland
Avoid mass-market factories
Avoid fast-fashion production models
Still offer activewear and swimwear
Grow slowly and sustainably
Give customers more choice
This is about balance, not cutting corners.
No matter where an item is made, every Wilde Mode product is designed with:
Soft, skin-kind fabrics
Gentle elastics
Minimal labels (and tear-away where unavoidable)
Thoughtful seam placement
Inclusive, non-gendered design
Comfort-first construction
We also know that sensory needs are deeply individual.
If something doesn’t feel right on your body:
You are not being difficult
You are not overreacting
Your experience is valid
We are always happy to:
Explain how a specific item is constructed
Confirm where it’s made
Suggest the most sensory-friendly options
Help with alterations where possible
