Founded in 2014 by Fashion Design graduate Laura Sherriffs, Fernweh UK is an accessories brand based in Aberdeen. Laura creates handcrafted bags and accessories inspired by a sense of adventure and the Scottish wilderness. Colour palettes reflect the rich landscapes, coasts and lochans of the Highlands and North East of Scotland. Laura uses natural, traditional materials such as Scottish waxed canvas, wools and leather, to tie her work directly to the land. Laura uses this natural inspiration to create high quality, purpose driven bags that bring a little bit of adventure into everyday life.

Laura creates rugged, unique designs that blend aesthetics with function, taking inspiration from traditional materials and giving them a modern twist. Another passion for Fernweh is sustainability, and Laura strives to create a brand and products that reflect these values, creating designs that minimise waste, using offcuts where possible and making products that last.
