Product

"All of our products are made from either:

• Recycled materials (usually made from recycled plastic bottles, repurposing this planet's waste and turning it into something beautiful)
• High welfare wool, certified by either the Responsible Wool Standard (RWS) or Responsible Alpaca Standard (RAS)
• High-quality industry off-cut fibres that would have otherwise been wasted
• Redesigned dead stock that would have otherwise been destined for landfill.
• Our collections and styles are all produced in small quantities and using only what is available."

People

"We work with 3 factories specialising in accessories based just outside of Shanghai, and we have a very close working relationship.

These factories operate at a very high standard – the working conditions are clean, safe and comfortable, using high-tech machinery and equipment. The workers are all paid a fair living wage. They have also produced for the likes of Acne Studios, Calvin Klein and the White Company. 

From the founder - The collections are developed and created with my mother. We personally visit, work in, and with the factories several times a year."

Packaging

"All of our packaging is plastic-free, made from recycled material, and is both fully recyclable and biodegradable."

Planet

• "£1 from every order is donated to Big Blue Ocean Clean Up, removing 1kg of plastic from our oceans.
• We are carbon neutral. We offset all our carbon output through the Woodland Trust UK.
• We donate 5% of our profits to WWF to support the incredible work they are doing to limit climate change."

"These principles are the driving force behind every decision we make. We pledge transparency, kindness, and a pursuit of learning, improvement, innovation, and adaptation. Our standards, mission, and goals are elevated day by day, as we embrace growth and strive to be a force for positive change."

Based in - Manchester, United Kingdom

Arctic Fox was founded in 2017 with a very simple desire: to combine staple, sustainable accessories that provide unwavering warmth and comfort even in the coldest of temperatures. A mission inspired by the founder, Charlotte's, journey to Iceland.

Building the foundations of the brand coincided with her final year studying fashion in Manchester, where the detrimental effects of the fashion industry on the planet became starkly evident.

"Personally, I come from two islands on opposite ends of the world, each gifting me with the richness of both Eastern and Western cultures, arts, and values. Japanese and Scandinavian influences in particular are known for their simplicity, minimalism, functionality, and most importantly, quality. These values have found a harmonious home in Arctic Fox’s core. Our ethos revolves around these pillars, inspiring us to craft enduring pieces that are as considerate of people and the planet as they are timeless."
