About Arniko
Arniko was born in Kathmandu, where street style meets centuries-old craftsmanship. Starting with handcrafted skateboards, we’ve evolved into a brand that blends streetwear with the creative energy of the city. From clothing to accessories, each piece reflects the spirit of our roots and the world we’re shaping today.
We work closely with skilled artisans in Kathmandu, building lasting partnerships rooted in trust and shared values. Sustainability isn’t something we emphasize—it’s simply the way we believe fashion should be made.
Our Philosophy
At Arniko, sustainability isn’t just a goal - it’s our standard. From the beginning, we’ve been dedicated to creating fashion that honors both people and the planet. We primarily use certified fabrics, ensuring that our production upholds high environmental and ethical standards.
While most of our collection features these thoughtfully sourced materials, we also incorporate reclaimed fabrics, giving new life to leftover materials with unique stories.
Inspired by the dynamic spirit of Kathmandu, we strive to craft timeless designs that merge modern street style with a commitment to responsible fashion. For us, creating with integrity is simply part of how we do things, and every piece reflects this dedication.
Our Production Process
At Arniko, quality and sustainability go hand in hand. Our production process is a testament to our commitment to crafting garments that stand the test of time. We work closely with skilled artisans in Kathmandu, ensuring that every step, from design to finish, upholds the highest standards.
We source our fabrics with care, predominantly using certified materials that meet rigorous environmental and ethical criteria. Each fabric is prewashed before it reaches our production floor, enhancing durability and reducing the impact on the environment. This extra step ensures that our garments not only look good but are built to last.
Our approach is rooted in the belief that better quality leads to more sustainable fashion. By focusing on meticulous craftsmanship and high-quality materials, we create pieces that you can wear with confidence, knowing they’ve been made with both care and conscience.
Our Skateboards
At Arniko, our journey began with skateboards, and they remain a cherished part of our story. Our decks are crafted with the same passion and attention to detail that defines our brand today. Designed primarily for cruising, they combine a touch of old-school charm with modern performance.
Each skateboard deck is built from Canadian maple, known for its strength and durability. The final layer features a striking veneer—whether it’s smoked oak or Indian maple—adding a distinctive contrast and a touch of elegance to the classic maple base.
Our skateboards are more than just a product; they’re a testament to our roots and our commitment to quality craftsmanship. Every deck is designed to offer a smooth ride while reflecting the timeless style that started it all.
