Every piece of Arv is made in sustainable fabrics, including GOTs certified cotton, Oeko-Tex responsible wool standard (RWS), Ecotec yarn, upcycled denim, certified and traceable Scandinavian fur, and dead stock fabrics. The brand manufactures in the EU or locally. Rather than following a seasonal schedule, Arv releases pieces slowly.

's textiles are mainly developed in-house, through artisanal techniques and carefully chosen materials that would otherwise be considered as waste. Her eponymous label has the aspiration to push sustainable methods and craftsmanship to develop a new creative practice able to face the collective challenges of our times.
