Fifth-generation farmers Angie Nisbet and Shona Larkin have always worked with their hands.
They’ve mustered cattle, they’ve worked the land and tended its soil. These hands have done the accounts, cleaned their homes and raised their families. They’ve worked in the brilliant Queensland sunlight for years.
So, in one way, it’s not surprising that Nisbet and Larkin have teamed up to create a range of fashionable, sun-protective gloves to help women working outdoors take better care of their hands.
What is more surprising is that they are selling those gloves from their rural properties near Hughenden in north west Queensland, where the products have to travel 500 kilometres before they even reach a post office (let alone their customers).
