Product Overview

Wary Canary’s first consumer product is a privacy-first crossbody bag, designed to look and feel like a modern everyday sling while discreetly protecting against digital and physical surveillance.

  • Faraday Pocket: Blocks wireless signals to prevent tracking and data skimming of phones, credit cards, and key fobs.
  • Everyday Functionality: Organized compartments for daily essentials.
  • Durable Design: Weather-resistant and built for commuting, travel, concerts, and everyday use.
  • Style First: Designed as a wearable accessory, not just a tech tool.

Why It Matters

  • Surveillance is everyday: From facial recognition cameras to hyper-targeted ads, people are seeking ways to regain control of their personal data.
  • Consumer demand is rising: Survey data shows strong discomfort with invasive ads, public cameras, and data collection.
  • Accessible solution: Wary Canary makes privacy protection practical, approachable, and wearable.

Manufacturing & Mission

  • Made in the USA: Produced with domestic manufacturing partners.
  • Sustainable Practices: Designed with durability and responsible sourcing in mind.
