Get To Know Swedish Brand | Asket

About themselves


“ We founded Asket in 2015 in Stockholm, Sweden, with a simple idea: to create clothing that stands the test of time. Over the years, we came to see how closely our pursuit of a better product is tied to resourcefulness and respect towards people and planet. We saw an opportunity – and felt a responsibility – to use our work to nurture an appreciation for what garments truly are and to inspire change. In the fashion industry at large, and in our individual relationships with clothing.”
