and wander Naoki Ishikawa The Void Book

THE VOID ORIGINAL ITEM is an item printed on CORDURA® material from photographs taken by photographer Naoki Ishikawa of the virgin forest that has been passed down as a sacred place for the indigenous Maori of New Zealand . Durable CORDURA® is a material that can be worn for a long time and can be enjoyed over time. Reduce the frequency of product replacement, indirectly reducing the impact on nature.

Naoki Ishikawa published his first book of photography about the virgin forests in New Zealand that the Maori people have preserved for 1,000ʼs of years and handed down to one another from generation to generation. And Wander selected a few of the images from this stunning book and choose to print the images on clothing made in collaboration with Cordura® fabric. Cordura® is a durable material that can be enjoyed for many years and because of its long wear it indirectly reduces the impact on nature.

A portion of the sales of THE VOID ORIGINAL ITEM will be donated to New Zealand's forest protection organization "Native Forest Restoration Trust". Since its establishment in 1980, the organization has carried out activities to pass on New Zealand's precious nature to future generations, such as protecting virgin forests and wetlands where endemic flora and fauna live, and regenerating land that was once developed.

A percentage of sales from “THE VOID” original clothing collection by And Wander will be donated to the Native Forest Restoration Trust, a forest protection organization based in Auckland, New Zealand. NFRT has been working hard for over 40 years to protect New Zealandʼs native forests and to pass them on to future generations.
