First of all, be careful not to confuse the Arket and Asket brands . This is our opinion on Arket.
We first notice that Arket does not have a fixed, fixed price placement. Indeed, the brand is positioned between the entry level (t-shirt for less than €20) and the mid-range (some shirts cost more than €100).
In terms of style, we also oscillate between the very basic (cotton chinos, wool sweater) and other creations that are a little more stylistically advanced (wool seersucker joggers, printed or colored shirt).
Overall, remember that the offer is very casual chic in spirit, with slight workwear touches here and there. The range is wide and varied enough (different cuts and colors in particular) so that everyone can find something that suits them.
What we saw from Arket was decent quality for the price. The brand uses few synthetic materials , except for technical clothing. Natural materials are preferred.
Another positive point: the country of manufacture is indicated on each product sheet . Better yet, the name of the workshop is specified on each product sheet. This approach follows that of the parent company, H&M. The effort at transparency is worth mentioning.
A slightly less positive point: you will find production in Bangladesh or China on products which are sometimes close to the mid-range.
The confection is rather Asian. There is a little bit of Turkish or Portuguese style.
In conclusion : you generally get what you pay for with Arket. It's a good option in this price bracket between entry and mid-range. The brand gives you enough information about the product, its composition and where it is made so that you buy with full knowledge of the facts.
