Arka
A recyclable polyester raincoat.
The Concept
ARKA is a raincoat influenced by palm leaves, and the Danish lifestyle. The coat is made of 100% polyester for the purpose of being recycled once the user is finished with the product. The ARKA brand also encourages reuse and creates its own vintage style through use of a laser cut logo and year date on the hood.
The Brief
This undergraduate assignment asked for a piece of fashion that could be recycled, inspired by the practices of Teijin. We were given 2 weeks to come up with a solution alongside a partner, and we were required to use polyester materials.
