The Story Behind Arseni
Hello, I'm Marina, the founder of Arseni. Born in the 80s in
a small town in the Soviet Union, I grew up in a time and place where clothing choices were limited. We had to repair, repurpose, and make do with the materials at hand.
My grandmother, of German origin, worked in a fabric store in the village of just 500 people. Despite the challenging times, she was a beacon of creativity, crafting unique pieces from the materials in her store for herself, her family, and her friends.
Inspired by the resourcefulness and creativity of my grandmother, Arseni was born out of a deep commitment to sustainability. We're pioneering a new sustainable business model for fashion, guiding consumers towards reducing their consumption and increasing their environmental consciousness.
Our Core Values
At Arseni, our designs transcend fleeting fashion trends, crafted sustainably with an artisanal touch. Transparency is at our core, guiding us as we adhere to key principles:
- Minimalism: Inspired by 60s fashion, we create timeless, simple, and practical pieces.
- Artisanal Craftsmanship: Our local Miami artisans meticulously craft each Arseni piece, ensuring quality and longevity.
- Local Sourcing: We support our community by sourcing materials locally whenever possible.
- Sustainable Materials: To minimize our environmental footprint, we use deadstock fabric and produce limited quantities.
