HAND-PAINTED DOORSTOPS WITH PERSONALITY. BRITISH DESIGNED. ETHICALLY MADE.

Wedgie is an independent British wooden handicraft brand creating distinctive, hand-painted doorstops inspired by iconic pop culture, past and present.

Combining bold character, playful humour and standout design, every Wedgie is carefully handcrafted to bring charm and individuality into the home.

With strong ties to Sri Lanka, where each piece is ethically made by skilled artisans, Wedgie is committed to producing high-quality handmade products while supporting traditional craftsmanship and rural communities.

Proudly part of a Sri Lankan empowerment initiative, Wedgie helps create sustainable opportunities for local makers, ensuring every product carries not only personality and craftsmanship, but purpose too.

Fun, functional and full of character — Wedgie doorstops are designed to make people smile.

The story behind the business
Meet Wedgie

Wedgie was born from a serendipitous meeting in Sri Lanka in 2007, where co-founders Mark Scholes and Hayley Evans first met while living on the island. Over the next decade, they married, adopted a street dog named Stevie, and were introduced to Mahendra — owner of a bespoke wooden handicraft workshop just outside Colombo.

In 2015, Wedgie officially came to life.

Working closely with Mahendra and his skilled team has allowed Wedgie to maintain exceptional production quality, ethical working practices and a genuine connection to the people behind every product.

Blending British design with pop-culture inspired character, Wedgie has grown organically from its Brighton UK base into an internationally stocked independent brand, now supplying over 200 stores worldwide alongside a strong online presence
