Arne, the sneaker and casual apparel brand based in the U.K., announced its expansion into the U.S. market. Plans include flagship stores in New York and Los Angeles and pop-up shops in to-be-announced locations. Arne also introduced a U.S. website.
Founded in 2018 by brothers Reece and Ryan Broadhurst, Arne is offers minimalist apparel, footwear and accessories. It expanded into footwear with its sneakers made in Portugal, using Italian suede and leather. The brand emphasizes accessible price points, with its men’s apparel range starting at $32 and men’s footwear at $51.
“From day one, we were clear on Arne’s mission—providing consumers with accessible, high-quality and well-designed everyday apparel essentials,” said Reece Broadhurst. “We saw a unique opportunity to connect with individuals searching for those missing core pieces in their wardrobes, and to listen to their feedback, wants and needs to fill a void within the market. These consumer insights have been transformative for our brand, and as we introduce Arne to a new audience as influential as U.S. consumers, we know it will only help us continue to grow.”
