Bare Kind specializes in bamboo socks that save animals. Ten percent of profits for each sock design is donated to a conservation charity that supports the animal on the sock. For example, purchasing the amur leopard socks supports TIGRIS and purchasing the bumblebee socks supports The Bumblebee Conservation Trust.

If people are going to purchase something new, they should have access to high quality products that are made to last and designed for impact. They use bamboo fiber because it is fast growing and high yielding with lower environmental impact than other fibers. The fabric is OEKO-TEX certified, and the socks are made in a third generation family-run factory in Istanbul that is BSCI certified and SEDEX audited. Products are packed and shipped in compostable or recyclable materials. Bare Kind prioritizes ground shipments and is working to become carbon neutral and offset past emissions.
