About Us
Who We Are
ARICA is nature, adventure, and passion. It's the wind on your face as you ride a wave or summit a volcano; it's the warmth of the Kalahari, the cold of Alaska, and the sound of the ocean. ARICA is a clothing brand, and it's much more.
Much more so because we want our designs to inspire you. It's not just a T-shirt, it's not just a piece of fabric. It's a lifestyle connected to the planet, the next journey that awaits you. We put all our effort into conveying through our designs that life is about experiences, so get out there and take on the world!
A brand with people behind it, people with concerns and a desire to convey a message through garments made with love, attention to detail, and top-quality materials. So you can dress well and look good. As it should be.

Process
Nature, nature, nature. It's our source of inspiration, and with our small contribution, we try to protect it. Day after day, design after design, we strive to convey our love and respect for this planet. Travel, adventure, sports, and animals are our favorite way to convey the message: We live in a wonderful place. Enjoy it. Take care of it. But at ARICA, we go beyond the "protect the planet" philosophy and come down to the real world. To our clothes. To our factories.
100% of our production is locally sourced, from Portugal and Spain. In Arica, quality over quantity, efficient and exclusive collections where we strive to pay attention to every detail and improve every day.
We ensure that the conditions of the people who work and make ARICA possible are adequate, that the manufacturing processes for our collections are less harmful to the environment by eliminating chemicals from our clothing, and that we are as efficient as possible to avoid unnecessary waste. All this is done to ensure that ARICA is a reality that leaves a minimal ecological footprint and always within a sustainable business model that we are proud to defend.
