At Arcaa, we believe in creating wardrobe essentials that are both timeless and versatile. Our pieces are meticulously crafted from premium knitted textures, using organic cotton and other natural fibers that reflect our commitment to responsible practices.

Founded in 2016 in the hinterland of Byron Bay, Arcaa is the vision of Australian designer Gemma Stanford. With years of experience in fashion and a deep understanding of the female form, Gemma designs each piece with care and intention, ensuring that it honors both the wearer and the environment. Her passion for conscious living is woven into every garment, creating well-crafted, considered pieces that transcend trends and celebrate the beauty of simplicity.

We believe in creating fashion that not only looks good but also does good.
Our journey is one of continuous learning and improvement, always with a focus on sustainability and ethical practices.

Our Mission

Centred on principles of slow and considered fashion, we use durable fabrics and certified organic fibres when possible. We believe in the adage ‘less is more,’ and intentionally create each piece to be multifunctional and seamlessly adapted to all lifestyles. Carrying through from season to season.

Our Commitment

At Arcaa we are focussed on progress, not perfection. We care deeply for our environment and our community. As we continue to learn more about responsible fashion practices we hope to share this knowledge with you and continually improve our product and practices in respect to sustainability, circularity, inclusivity and transparency.

PANDA

Giving back

Arcaa proudly supports PANDA, perinatal anxiety and depression Australia, with a donation commitment of $1 from every sale.
Donations go towards staffing the Helpline, producing vital resources for families, and raising awareness so that more parents reach out
early for support. PANDA provides support to parents and families affected by anxiety and depression during pregnancy and within the first
year of parenthood. They are helping to shine a light on a very common, yet serious illness
that affects up to one in five expecting and new parents.
