About Awol
AWOL is bringing the art of travel to life, creating unique, contemporary keepsakes inspired by the world. Art has meaning. Design has a function. Awol merges the two in an artful range of handcrafted, premium products inspired by travel: wearable art that can travel with you, inspire you at home, or be shared with others.

Our Collections
Our limited edition collections have been crafted using premium quality materials and methods. Every collection has a travel story behind it that inspired the artist to create it. All our collections are produced in limited editions, so once they’re gone, they’re gone. This ensures we can focus on quality over quantity while keeping the creative output high.
