The Barks Department began with a simple idea: the best adventures are the ones we share. I started this brand to celebrate my love of hiking, exploring new trails, and spending as much time outside as possible—especially with my corgis, Dexter and Logan, by my side.
Dexter and Logan bring an extra sense of joy and curiosity to every outing. Short legs have never stopped them from chasing big views, sniffing out new paths, or turning an ordinary walk into an adventure. They are the heart behind The Barks Department and the inspiration for our park-inspired designs.
Short legs. Big trails.
Every shirt is made for people who feel that same pull toward the outdoors and know that a good dog makes every trail better. My hope is that these pieces help you carry a little of that feeling with you—whether you’re heading into the mountains, planning your next park trip, or simply sharing a slow day with your best friend.
Here’s to more trails, more places worth exploring, and more adventures with the dogs we love.
