The perfect cinnamon bun
Food|September 2025

On craft as continuum
Notes|August 2025
Textile traditions often carry more than technique – holding memory, care, and everyday acts of creativity. At the intersection of past and present, and amid a renewed interest in the handmade, craft becomes a way of remembering and passing on the knowledge handed down through generations.
Drawing life into all living things

On translating colour
Notes|August 2025
How do you capture the feeling of a place in a single brushstroke – or distil the essence of a flower into colour alone? This season, a quiet, hands-on process of exploration led our team to new ways of thinking about function, beauty and the expressive potential of print.

Takashi Tsushima on living with nature as one
Interviews|August 2025

Ryan Willms on embracing stillness

Jo Ellison on the contemporary codes of business attire
Interviews|August 2025
It’s an old tale: summer begins to end as September approaches, marking the start of the new season. Despite the familiar post-vacation blues, this is a moment filled with the return of pleasant comforts: a well-known routine, the sounds of the coffee maker, the spark of refreshed creativity and, of course, the powerful influence of trusted office wear.
Down
Care guides|August 2025
Down is ideal for lightweight insulating outerwear because it creates a warm thermal barrier next to the body. Treat your down products with special care to maintain their level of performance.
Good Grains
Suppliers|August 2025
Aligned with our dedication to carefully sourced, well-crafted food, Good Grains supplies ARKET CAFÉ with Swedish-grown barley bulgur – the base of our seasonal grain bowl.
Synthetic fibres
Care guides|August 2025
Synthetic fibres such as polyester, polyamide, acrylic, and elastane have many useful properties that can be enjoyed in a variety of garments, including activewear and swimwear. They’re usually comfortable, quick-drying, and keep their shape well. However, they also shed tiny plastic particles that can enter the sea and cause harm to our ecosystems. Here’s how to care for synthetic garments.
Wool
Care guides|August 2025
Merino wool, lambswool, mohair, alpaca, and cashmere—there are many types of wool, all valued for their warmth and durability. Wool is also breathable, moisture-wicking, and resistant to odours and wrinkles. When cared for properly, wool garments can maintain their quality and appearance over time.
Silk
Care guides|August 2025
Silk is composed of incredibly fine natural protein fibres produced by silkworms. It is surprisingly strong, smooth, breathable, and transports moisture. Handle silk garments with care to maintain their smooth and lustrous texture.
Cashmere
Care guides|August 2025
Cashmere is one of the rarest wool fibres in the world, renowned for its exceptional softness. Caring for your cashmere garments will help maintain their softness and longevity.
Canvas
Care guides|August 2025
Canvas items, such as shoes and bags, are popular for their durability and versatility. Proper care can help maintain their appearance and extend their lifespan.
Denim
Care guides|August 2025
Denim is special for its exceptional durability, unique aging process, and versatile appeal. With proper care, your denim garments can improve with time.
Brass jewellery
Care guides|August 2025
Brass provides a sturdy base for our gold- and silver-plated jewellery, enhancing the durability of the pieces. The plating offers a beautiful, lasting sheen that can be prolonged with the right care.
Signe Siemsen on the freedom of trusting in nature
Interviews|August 2025
Plants have always been a source of both food and medicine, and the knowledge of how to use them has been passed down through generations. However, for most people today, that link is broken, and nature often represents something we need to approach with care. For Signe Siemsen – an herbalist, doula, and craftswoman living in Stockholm – having a relationship with the wild brings healing and meaning to what it means to be human.
