Welcome to arqé, a journey sparked by personal quest for garments that resonate with both style and values.
Our founder is a woman who has valued modesty and fashion from a very young age. Growing up, she would modify ready-to-wear pieces to match her standards. Standards regarding both modesty and design. This passion continued into her early teens.
When she was 12 years old, she decided to embrace the hijab and modest clothing. At that age, she encountered a challenge which has been unresolved ever since. Despite her excessive shopping sprees and a wardrobe bursting at the seams, she was never satisfied with the available modest fashion options.
Her excessive shopping habit was, in fact, a manifestation of her discontent with the fashion industry's offerings. Each purchase left her perpetually unsatisfied, driving her relentless pursuit of the perfect piece. This is where her dream began to take shape.
From modifying bought ready-to-wear pieces, to sketching the designs she envisioned, she has spent her time diligently working towards her dream.
This is when arqé was born. Fueled by a passion for creating modest, stylish, and high-qualityclothing, the brand emerged as a culmination of years of dedication and vision.
The past few years have been a whirlwind of experimentation. Behind the scenes, we havedived deep into the world of textiles, to ensure we can offer the highest quality. We made countless samples, of which many were discarded, and others refined until they met the standards that arqé wants to offer.
Thousands of choices have been made, with in mind the woman who wants to dress not to impress, but to express her true self. Her true self, full of confidence and unwavering commitment to her values. A woman who refuses to compromise on her principles.
Our purpose is to empower this woman. We want to offer the designs she has longed for; in fabrics she has dreamed of. Our timeless and minimalistic designs, in the highest quality fabrics, reflect our commitment to durability and lasting style.
Our understanding of this specific woman is rooted in our collective experience. As a brand, we are integral members of this community of women. We have traversed the same paths, encountered the same challenges, and shared the same aspirations. It's through this shared journey that we have an invaluable insight into their needs and desires.
It is our mission to make this community of women feel confident within the boundaries of their values.
After years of dedication and hard work, the moment has finally arrived. We are ready to unveil our debut collection. This launch is not just the start of a business; it is the realization of a dream that has been years in the making.
arqé represents so much more than just clothing; let’s embark on this journey together.
