Down is ideal for lightweight insulating outerwear because it creates a warm thermal barrier next to the body. Treat your down products with special care to maintain their level of performance.
Use your down products in cold and dry conditions. In wet weather, we recommend opting for a layered solution with a waterproof shell. Be mindful that wetting the down can compromise its insulation properties over time.
Regularly fluff your down items to maintain their loft. This can be done manually or by putting them in the dryer on a no-heat cycle with three or more tennis balls.
Hand or machine wash down items infrequently, only when they are noticeably dirty.
Spot clean and air your down product frequently between washes. For small stains or spots, use a mild soap and a sponge or cloth to gently clean the area.
Wash at a low temperature and on a gentle cycle. Use a mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners and bleach as they can strip the down’s natural oils.
Close all zippers and Velcro before washing.
Never dry clean your down products, as the feather may get destroyed by the chemicals.
Tumble dry at a low temperature—it will take some time, but be patient and wait until it’s completely dry.
Using tennis balls in the dryer, at least three of them, will help distribute the down and feathers evenly.
For everyday storage, hang your down items in a closet to avoid compression.
For long-term storage, use a breathable cotton bag or cover. Avoid plastic bags as they can trap moisture. Keep them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

Linen is a strong natural fibre that gets softer with use and time. It’s breathable and has a soft texture. Caring for linen properly helps maintain its natural characteristics.

Silk is composed of incredibly fine natural protein fibres produced by silkworms. It is surprisingly strong, smooth, breathable, and transports moisture. Handle silk garments with care to maintain their smooth and lustrous texture.

Cotton is the world's most widely used natural fibre. Depending on how the yarn is spun, woven or finished, it can become anything from crisp poplin and fine jersey to sturdy canvas and soft flannel. It is also by far the most common material across the ARKET collections, accounting for roughly 60% of the materials we use. While the qualities of the fibre remain familiar, new ways of growing cotton continue to be explored. For autumn 2026, we introduce our first garments made with soilless cotton.

Based on a life-long fascination with notebooks, diaries, organising and hand-to-paper sketching, Dutch graphic designer Marjolein Delhaas creates planners defined by clean design, bold colours and modern typography. In her own words, they are ‘tiny systems that help structure your thoughts without dictating, leaving room for the unexpected.’ This autumn, she has developed a custom colour range of back-to-work essentials for ARKET.
