About the business

Location: Online

Getting out of town feels bloody good (as you probably know). But usually, this truth really only hits home while you’re drying off in the sun after a cool swim or cracking a cold one after hammering in that last tent peg. At baru, we make comfortable and sustainable clothes with breezy designs that utilise quick-drying and recycled materials.
