Who we are

Ah, The Dirty Mitten – it's not just a name, it's a love letter to our beloved Michigan!

Picture this: it's wintertime, and Michigan transforms into a winter wonderland. But as the snow falls and blankets our beautiful state, it's not long before the snowplows come through, leaving behind a trail of dirt all across the roads.

Now, some might see this as a nuisance, but not us Michiganders! We see it as a badge of honor – a sign that we're out there embracing all the adventures and joys that our state has to offer, come rain, shine, or a little bit of snowmelt.

So, when it came time to name our cozy little gift store, there was no question – The Dirty Mitten was the perfect fit! It's a celebration of everything we love about Michigan – from our resilient spirit to our vibrant community of makers and artisans.

And here we are, spreading a little slice of that Michigan magic to all who walk through our doors. So, whether you're a born-and-raised Michigander or just passing through, come on in and get a little taste of what makes our 'Dirty Mitten' so darn special!

We are located right in downtown West Branch, MI.
