ARCS Revives Vintage Hiking Styles for Its SS22 Collection

ARCS, a London-based fashion label specializing in high-end bags, has officially unveiled its Spring/Summer 2022 collection, which carries on the brand's sustainability-focused ethos and "slow-made" approach to production.

The new collection includes updates to a range of ARCS’ signature silhouettes while introducing two new standout styles. These include the 'Little Hey' sling and the 'Sharp Crossbody Bag,' which are delivered alongside updated versions of the already 'Kapha' crossbody bag, 'Hey' sling bag, and 'Minute' neck pouch.

As was the case with ARCS' Fall-Winter 2022 collection, eco-friendly materials, and sustainable production techniques are at the center of the new collection. Recycled polyester, 'ARCS Twill,' and other handwoven fabrics are leveraged throughout the line as our custom trims and piece-dyeing techniques.
