Blue Bare Made began in 2021, as a small Martinez home-based laser cutting and engraving business by Martinez native, Jenny Bare, and family (by involuntary proxy). =) As the business grew, her house didn't. In mid-2023, she made the leap to a Downtown Martinez brick and mortar space, much to the happiness of the entire Bare family. :) Jenny's small, but mighty, team built the space to serve as a manufacturing and production studio for Blue Bare Made branded retail and wholesale items. The largest portion of the expansion enabled Jenny to easily partner with local businesses, schools, groups and teams to create personalized promotional and private label merchandise, awards and corporate gifts. Over the years, Jenny has utilized her professional background in public health, education, large-scale marketing, womaning, wife-ing and mothering, to create many designs and products for her own brands, her hometown of Martinez, other cities and locations and for other businesses, teams and groups. She enjoys getting to know fellow community members and small business owners. Due to water damage in early 2024, Blue Bare Made had to close its doors for mass clean up and repairs. Beginning on April 20th, 2024, Blue Bare Made will be adding a permanent retail space to the front area of the studio, opening the space up for public shopping during certain days. This part of the shop will feature Blue Bare Made branded products and designs - including Jenny's signature Martinez branded merchandise, plus hand chosen unique specialty items that highlight the wonderful diverse Martinez community. Her mindset is to offer products and gifts that build hometown community, reflect humor/sarcasm, healing, neurodiversity, inclusivity, and empowerment mixed with a natural California Bohemian flair. Jenny and family are passionate about supporting the local Martinez community and give a portion of their earning directly back to local schools, sports teams, adults and children with learning differences and other organizations. Blue Bare Made is proud to be set amongst a block of women-owned small retail businesses. and encourages you to shop with our vibrant lady-owned business neighbors at The Roaming Sole, Hive Boutique, Faded Gold Vintage and Knots & Found. <3 Blue Bare Made is also so grateful for the ongoing support over the past 3+ years and is looking forward to opening our doors again soon.
