[STATUS ANXIETY] STATUS ANXIETY was founded in Australia in 2004. Currently, they offer a wide range of products, including leather bags, belts, travel tech items, hats, sunglasses, and clothing. Status Anxiety is the feeling of being anxious about your success and status compared to those around you. STATUS ANXIETY proposes a simple life with little worry about trying to meet other people's standards of success, focusing on what is truly important and sustainable.
The products are designed with simplicity and permanence in mind, manufactured with a focus on quality rather than speed, and with a heart for craftsmanship, materials and design, all products are designed in Sydney by STATUS ANXIETY's creative team. The team values simplicity, values long-lasting products over temporary trends, and chooses versatility, functionality and sustainability over fast fashion. Quality materials are the main focus of the products, such as premium sustainable leather used for bags and Italian MAZZUCCHELLI used for sunglasses. By adopting simple designs and quality materials rather than complex designs, STATUS ANXIETY products look good and last long. The brand opened its first flagship store in Paddington (Sydney) at the end of 2017 and currently has 8 stores in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
