When we asked our community of gardeners what frustrates them about their gloves.

9 out of 10 said the same thing: The fingertips never last. We understand because we face the same problem.

While we're in the midst of building, testing, breaking and fixing, we don't know what The Foundation Glove will finally look like. But we know what it must do: fit perfectly, stay dry and outlast every other glove in your shed right now.

We're calling this The Foundation Glove because it's built from the ground up.

And every gardener we spoke to shaped this glove. This is not our product. IT'S YOURS.

Meet The Foundation Glove.

Built from the ground up & designed with the people who know gardening best. You.

What you can expect from The Foundation Glove:

  • Durability where it matters. Reinforced fingertips and seams to outlast your toughest weeding sessions.
  • All-day comfort & fit. Soft, flexible materials that move naturally with your hands.
  • Water-resistant & breathable. Keeps hands dry without trapping sweat.
  • Built for Australian conditions. Designed to handle heat, rain and everything in between.

Hi, I'm Carolyn, Founder of Bare Dirt Co.

Bare Dirt Co. came about quite by accident really! The seed for it was planted when I realised that I wasn't alone in my frustration of having to replace my garden gloves every 3-4 months (sooner in spring and summer) simply because the fingertips were worn out. It struck me how wasteful this was. I mean I've lost count of the number of gloves I've had to chuck out over the years!

I felt compelled to fix this problem. And with the help of gardeners throughout Australia who have been so generous with their feedback and insights, we're now working hard on developing our first solution.

We're calling this The Foundation Glove, as it is the first step of many towards building quality garden gloves that last.

Our mission is to design for durability now, then repairability and later, circularity. This is our north star.
