Since opening in the UK in 2017 Arket has become the go-to for modern women. From full-time mums to boardroom execs, Arket has everything from tailoring to cashmere, leather handbags that won’t break the bank and some of the best footwear on the High Street. They have weekly drops and a VERY loyal customer – so if you see something you like, don’t keep it in your basket for long. Here are favourite new arrivals this week:
- I’m always looking for warm winter coats that aren’t black (or boring for that matter). I’ve seen this faux shearling coat IRL and its pretty convincing so for £229, its quite a steal.
- I don’t really carry large handbags so always have a default cross-body bag for phone, keys, and headphones when I’m on the go. But when I do have extra things to carry with me like a laptop or my gym gear, nothing will ruin an outfit more than an ugly tote you got free as a promotion or a worn-out paper bag. I’ve been keeping my eye out for something a little more interesting and this waterproof tote ticks all the boxes.
- Knee-high. Check. Cowboy details. Check. Practical heel. Check. That’s all I needed to know.
- Pinstripes are back for autumn, and this cropped blazer is the perfect example of how to wear this trend – think Melanie Griffiths circa 1988 in Working Girl minus the volume.
- I’m not sure how many hours I have spent scouring the internet for affordable cashmere that is not only soft, but in a flattering neutral shade. I finally found some.
