Founder message
Bare Kind has been saving animals for over 6 years now with its sock profit donation model, and that time has absolutely flown by.
Every year when we pull together this impact report I'm amazed at what we have been able to achieve thanks to our lovely customers who decide to buy their socks from us.
The most exciting part of the job for me is always seeing the next animals we get to help save with our socks, and every year we are always adding more gorgeous designs in, with 2025 being no different. And remember we LOVE hearing what animals and charities you'd like to see us support. A lot of our charity partnerships have been born from being introduced through you, so thank you!
Here is to another year of saving animals with our socks!
— Lucy, Founder of Bare Kind
