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.

As a Junior Buyer or entry level Buyer, you will independently manage a product range,
collaborating closely with the Head of Product to develop a commercial, trend-driven product

Operational Support: Oversee inventory, system management, sample coordination, and support junior buyers in daily tasks.
