About Us
The County of Bourke
The County of Bourke was proclaimed in 1853. It is the oldest and most populous county in the state of Victoria. It also contains the city of Melbourne and its first suburb Fitzroy where we founded our business in 2003.
Our County of Bourke is home to four separate labels: ATKM, Baabuk, Duckfeet and Nature. The labels cover footwear and accessories for life: bags, wallets, belts and the like.
Our ethos is to make and sell goods that embody quality and simplicity. With quality comes longevity (and less consumption) and with longevity comes a story.
People tend to value things that have been with them for a long time because those things are imbued with the narrative of their lives.
At the County of Bourke we make and sell items to cherish for a long time, if not a lifetime.
