Bayonette was founded by Emily Thorvaldsson, an Australian Air Force Personnel Capability Officer. Emily was continually frustrated by the lack of military clothing and equipment for women in such a male dominated environment. Undeterred and in a world first, Emily designed, manufactured and trialled military gear and equipment specifically designed and made for female bodies.
Who would’ve thought?!
However, through this journey Emily discovered that many other women living as police, paramedics, miners, builders also lacked the resources and support needed to truly be the best version of themselves. Thus, Bayonette has grown into a diverse community of women who are boldly challenging the status quo, innovating, and striving to be the best they can.
