Team Polo Sweater
Axel Arigato elevates the sweatshirt from a simple layering piece to a standout item with raw-edge seam accents. These details create a vertical and horizontal line that extends and frames the oversized shape, as well as giving it a handmade touch.
Varsity Halo Down Jacket
Evolving from streetwear sensation to modern essential, the puffer jacket remains a cold weather wardrobe must-have. Axel Arigato revamps this staple in its signature fuss-free aesthetic.
Clean lines define the puffer, with a high collar, Velcro-secured cuffs and dual pockets optimising function. Both durable and discreet, Axel Arigato’s urban update on the puffer jacket promises enduring winter style.
Chopped Oversized Sweatshirt
Axel Arigato elevates the sweatshirt from a simple layering item to a standout piece with its raw-edge seam design. This detail creates a lengthening and framing effect on the oversized shape, as well as adding a touch of handmade charm. The piece comes in washed shades of dark green and black, giving it a modern and worn-in look.
Hudson Varsity Jacket
The Varsity Jacket has gone through many transformations to suit different styles. It has been decorated with badges and letters for a preppy look, or with art for a vintage vibe. The Hudson version from the brand offers a fresh take on the Varsity Jacket, with a simple and elegant design. It is made from a thick wool with synthetic leather sleeves and two logo patches on each side.
Dice-A Sneaker
Axel Arigato’s expansive sneaker repertoire encompasses bold and sleek styles alike. The Dice-A falls into the latter camp, with its trim midsole and tapered toe box producing a slender silhouette – strategic leather panelling slims the form further.
Adding flair, the coloured upper overlays can be brushed down for a worn-in, vintage character. With its fusion of understated design and subtle retro details, the Dice-A demonstrates Axel Arigato’s knack for minimalist sophistication.
