Rental Share our collection
A selection of ARKET children’s products from current and previous collections are available for rent through our partner Circos.
Circos is an online shop and rental service for children’s and maternity wear, founded with the mission to increase the use and prolong the life of garments that are typically used for only a short period of time. For a monthly rental fee, Circos’ customers get access to an edited range of high-quality clothing from brands such as ARKET, adidas and Patagonia, delivered directly to their door. Sizes range from 50 to 104 (newborn to 3-4 years). Renting instead of buying allows you to share the footprint of the products with other parents and also saves time, money and space as the wardrobe can grow along with the child. Between 8 and 10 families will share and enjoy the same piece of clothing and once the product wears out, the materials are repurposed to make new products. Circos’ customers help save an average of 242 litres of water and 6 kilos of CO2 emissions per month compared to parents who buy all of their children’s clothes, according to a lifecycle assessment done by Danish consultancy firm PlanMiljø.

Sustainable everyday basics
Many of our team are parents themselves and share a dedication to developing practical products that endure and enhance the lifestyle of curious children. We also feel a genuine responsibility to contribute to a better future for our children. The foundation of the children’s collection is a gender-neutral assortment of functional, practical and comfortable wardrobe basics for year-round everyday wear. Soft bodysuits, leggings, tops and cardigans for the youngest ones and an array of durable denim and colourful jersey sets for kids age 2 to 10. The products are nearly exclusively made from sustainably sourced materials such as organic cotton, responsible wool and recycled down and polyester.
Hand down when outgrown
We encourage all our customers to gift used ARKET products to family and friends, resell them online or donate to charity shops to prolong the life of used garments. To make it easy and convenient to swap outgrown clothes for larger sizes, we are also offering a wide selection of our childrenswear for rent in partnership with the Circos online shop.
ARKET CHILDREN – DESIGNED TO BE SHARED
The Long-term impact of responsible design

design Creating something new and making claims on our shared resources comes with the responsibility to leave a positive contribution to the community, says our Head of Design for Childrenswear, Elisabet Holmström.
'Active and deliberate choices in the design process can make a change. These choices are as much about not doing certain things, not going down certain paths. I think this is especially true when designing for children. I had been working in commercial fashion for a long time, so when I became a mother myself, I really felt I wanted to make kids’ clothes that are free of stereotypes.'
