Fashion imprint ARKET launches the new ARKET CAFÉ MERCHANDISE as a means to continue celebrating its Swedish roots. It does so by honoring the beloved Fika culture that is true to the country, which is essentially where people gather and enjoy coffee and a small cake, similar to that of a cardamom bun.
There are currently 23 ARKET cafes that are scattered across the globe. This time around, the brand is launching its own collection to honor the space. It includes graphic tees, sweaters, canvas totes, caps, coffee mugs, and kitchen aprons. There is a sustainable angle to the clothing items that feature the use of organic and recycled cotton materials that create a simplistic white or black look.
