Status Anxiety

Status Anxiety was founded by Will in 2004 that focuses on creating minimalist leather goods that promote simplicity and true value in all areas of life. The company aims to combat the social condition of status anxiety by encouraging people to worry less about measuring up to others' perceptions and reassessing real value. All of their products are designed in their Sydney studio with a focus on quality over quantity and both form and function in every piece. Status Anxiety uses premium leather that is ethically sourced and predominantly from Italian and Brazilian tanneries. Their designs are minimalistic and uncomplicated, allowing customers to do their thing without looking like they take themselves too seriously. With five retail stores in Australia, customers can drop in and experience the inherent awesomeness of Status Anxiety's products firsthand.

Status Anxiety shoppers are individuals who value minimalism, simplicity, and quality in their leather goods. They appreciate the brand's focus on ethical sourcing, functional designs, and combating the social condition of status anxiety by promoting true value in life.
