London, United Kingdom Gandys Full time

Gandys is the travel fashion brand that uses business for good. We inspire adventure

through our crafted products and empower children through education. Through sustainable

sourced lifestyle collections we aim to be a force for change.

Overwhelmed by the support of local people after they were orphaned by the 2004 tsunami,

our founders built a brand focused on giving back. Today Gandys supports multiple projects in some of the world’s poorest regions. We donate 10% of every order to fund our education projects around the world.

We collaborate with local charities to provide disadvantaged children with the educational

support they need to get a better start in life.
