AR3S VALUES

AR3S was born with the intention of creating fashionable and quality garments using first choice Made in Italy fabrics while maintaining an ethical code that differentiates it from many other brands:
respect for the environment.
In a consumerist world, increasingly fast and frenetic, fast fashion has become one of the main sources of pollution on planet Earth and beyond.
Every day, tons of clothes are thrown away in Europe alone and only 1% of the total is recycled.
Most of this waste comes from mass production, low-quality garments and ridiculously low prices.
A very high percentage of these garments thrown away in the EU are subsequently
burned in special incinerators, however producing emissions of
Annual CO2 estimated at about 10% of global carbon emissions. Discarded garments that are not burned are disposed of by sending them to non-EU countries, and here the traces are lost.

To keep the prices of their garments very low, fast fashion giants use materials derived from petroleum, the so-called synthetic fibres (nylon, acrylic, polyester...), which are extremely harmful to the environment and to us.
Just think that after just a few washes these synthetic fibre garments release hundreds of thousands of microplastics, which inevitably end up in the sea, damaging marine flora and fauna.

Another extremely negative factor behind the creation of these garments is the exploitation of labor.

Many fast fashion giants have production facilities around the world, but the highest concentrations are found in Africa and Asia.

It is thanks to the more difficult living conditions in these countries that fast fashion giants take profit from it.

A garment for its realization needs dozens and dozens of
steps, it is therefore inevitable that in mass production this
process is followed by multiple people at the same time.

The problem arises, however, when these people are exploited, with
job security is almost non-existent and wages are just below survival, in some countries even a few cents an hour, not to mention that in this greedy world of fast fashion not even children are spared from work.

AR3S is committed to maintaining an ethic of sustainability and valorization of Italian artisans in the production of its products, aiming for an excellent quality of fabrics to guarantee high comfort to the customer and a long life to their garments.

Each single fabric is designed to be of superior quality compared to similar fabrics, discarding any synthetic fabrics and using only certified and approved "GOTS" eco-friendly fabrics, which are grown and harvested with the least possible impact on the environment, using only the water strictly necessary for the production of the garment final, avoiding any form of waste.

The high quality of ecological fabrics offers a lightness and softness to the contact with the skin that is difficult to match, offering excellent breathability through the fabric filaments.

Ecological fabrics chosen and studied to last over time, as much as possible, offering the customer a product that is both high quality and also long-lasting (if you follow all the instructions for treating and washing the garment).

AR3S also relies on the decades-long experience of Italian artisans for the creation of garments, using recycled and recyclable products both for accessories such as Hang Tags but also for packaging and everything related to it, using almost entirely recycled paper for the latter.

Shipping is also eco-friendly.

AR3S relies on an Italian courier with great experience and professionalism renowned in the beautiful country for the delivery of garments.

The choice of the courier was made by the AR3S Team after a careful study of the quality of the service offered but also of the latter's attention to the environment.

In fact, each package will be delivered to you with an external envelope provided by the courier that is totally recycled and recyclable. Furthermore, thanks to a supplement on shipping costs TOTALLY PAID BY AR3S, your package will arrive in total safety and with the guarantee that during the shipping and delivery process the emission of carbon dioxide is minimal, in some cases even absent.

AR3S garments are much more than just clothing.
