the arx initiative
Leading the way towards a more promising future for the professional clothing industry.
the arx initiative
arx initiative is a movement to help facilitate and accelerate the shift needed to ensure a livable world on a habitable planet. The arx initiative has been created to show that starting modest is fine, that making that shift is possible and that we can take first steps today.
The arx initiative is our way of taking responsibility for the impact we have on the environment, by actively reducing our impacts whilst extending the lifetime of our products.

the arx initiative
reducing impact extending lifespan
The arx initiative is our contribution to take responsibility, reduce our impact by making quality garments, extending the lifetime by offering repair for our garments and facilitate garment collecting when they are due for a second life.
We also want to share knowledge/insights and inspire others by “showing” how we do things today and by learning from one another; together working on a better future for the professional clothing industry.
Because the real solution lies with us and implies a behavioural change.

Thanks to our repair and refurbishing center, we make sure your garments receive the extended life they deserve.
