Bare Dirt Co. is an Australian-designed glove brand on a mission to build garden gloves that honour durability, comfort and sustainability.

MEET V2: DESIGNED FROM WHAT YOU TOLD US

A hundred home gardeners and trade professionals have been working with The Foundation since we launched in March. We built V2 from their honest feedback.

BUILT FOR THE TRADE, NOT JUST THE WEEKEND

We deliberately tested The Foundation among professionals on the tools. Some of the toughest feedback came from customers using them daily for work. This is what they told us.

  • A pair of worn brown leather work gloves with dark cuffs, laid flat on a yellow surface.

    "Comfy and feels like a second skin."

    - Emma, horticulturist

  • A pair of worn leather work gloves, showing both the palm and back-of-hand sides, placed on a dark textured surface.

    "No issues with fine work or hard yakka."

    - Angus, after 100+ hours of use

  • A pair of brown leather work gloves with dark burgundy cuffs, laid flat on a dark stone surface with a striped cloth and a yellow bucket in the background.

    "I can do finer work without taking them off."

    - Laena, home gardener

DURABLE NOW. REPAIRABLE NEXT. CIRCULAR LATER

We don't just want to make garden gloves that last longer. We want to build something that can be fixed when broken and given a new lease of life when done being a glove.

Saying this out loud hasn't always been easy. Because we don't know how we'll pull this off. But it's a journey we're embracing. We've decided that not having all the answers isn't a reason to stay quiet.

This is the vision that we proudly hold onto and it guides every decision we make on design to material selection to who we work with.

BUILDING BARE DIRT CO. HAS BEEN A LESSON IN HUMILITY

And a humbling lesson in the power of community, turning an idea into reality.

When I left the corporate world behind in 2025, I was determined to build something different for myself. Stumbling into horticulture studies, I found a problem I couldn't shake. So much so that I started workshopping a solution.

What started as a pet project became Bare Dirt Co. And with it, our first step into building garden gloves that honour durability, comfort and sustainability.

We've come this far because of our community, the gardeners and trade professionals who've supported and cheered us on since day one.

Eternally grateful,
Carolyn
