Axel Arigato

Axel Arigato is a one-way ticket to laid-back style. In fact, Max Svärdh – the Swedish label's co-founder – aptly describes it as a "destination" rather than a brand. Svärdh and partner Albin Johansson take their inspiration from subculture and fuse it with a passion for Japanese and Scandi minimalism. 

Our range of Axel Arigato snakers at Selfridges includes sought-after lace-ups with distinctive suede panels and contrast heel tabs. If sleek and simple is your style, you'll want more than one pair. Almond-shaped toe caps soften the silhouettes of stretch-knit designs set on 90s-inspired exaggerated rubber soles. The label's earth-conscious ethos means also that each shoe is handmade using eco-friendly materials. The same "wear now, keep forever" philosophy underpins understated Axel Arigato t-shirts available in easy-to-combine neutral colours and stamped with signature branding.

Invest in a pair of Axel Arigato pants finished with pressed seams or topped with elasticated waistbands. The smart and comfortable fits will set you up for easy-going work outfits. Looking for something to lounge about in at home or on relaxed weekend days? Soft hoodies with dropped shoulders and faded finishes are the way to go – they'll look like they've been old favourites the moment you first put them on.
