"There is every chance that 2026 will be the year you see your first pair of Gardana gardening clogs in the wild. In fact, if you spend much time on TikTok, or live in Brooklyn, you've probably already been seeing them for months, if not years. I saw my first pair a few weeks ago. I watched a dad dropping his kids off at school in head-to-toe Carhartt, a pair of Gardanas peeping out from below his trousers like a shy frog."
"Pliable, but with a sturdy sole, they go for as little as 25. The work of French environmental poet Andre Ravachol, who founded the Plasticana brand behind the clogs in 1998, they're made from 100% recycled PVC and hemp, which gives them their earthy-caramel or, as Vogue put it, bird-pooey hue. They have since been called maybe the coolest shoes in London by one TikToker, as he Lime-biked his way through the capital to try to nab a pair."
Gardana gardening clogs are pliable with a sturdy sole and sell for as little as 25. The clogs are made from 100% recycled PVC and hemp, producing an earthy-caramel, 'bird-pooey' hue. The Plasticana brand was founded in 1998 by French environmental poet Andre Ravachol. The shoes gained fashion visibility after being shown by US brand Bode on a 2020 catwalk and have become popular on TikTok and in Brooklyn and parts of the UK. Gardeners praise their practicality for delicate walled gardens and casual wear, pairing them with bright socks and selvedge denim.
