Our Story
We are a female-founded, Manchester-based accessories brand.
Charlotte started Arctic Fox in 2017 after seeing first-hand the scale of unnecessary waste generated by the fashion industry during countless factory visits with her mum. Determined to drive change, she began working directly with those factories to turn factory-floor leftovers, discarded yarns and production rejects into everyday staples, giving materials otherwise destined for landfill a new lease of life. Nine years on, we continue to work closely with our suppliers to pioneer new recycled materials, source responsibly certified natural fibres, develop zero-waste production processes and support worker wellbeing through strong relationships and a hands-on approach.
Inspired by nature and designed for everyday life, our pieces are made to keep you warm. Everyday essentials, consciously created, made for everyone and made to last.
Our Story
Arctic Fox began in 2017, inspired by a journey through Iceland and a love of design that brings beauty and function together.
Rooted in Japanese and Scandinavian influences, our collections pair simple, functional silhouettes with tactile textures and colours drawn from nature. From the scarf you wrap yourself in on a cold morning to the throw you come home to, we believe everyday pieces should feel as good as they look.
"I started Arctic Fox while studying fashion at university. Back then, I had a scarf that I wore every single day as soon as the weather turned cold. It was warm, cosy and comforting, and went with everything. It’s still in my wardrobe today.
That feeling was what I wanted to recreate: beautiful accessories that keep you warm and become favourites you return to year after year, made only with care for people and the planet. A visit to Iceland brought that vision to life. Her freezing cold, breathtaking landscapes stayed with me, alongside an appreciation for practical design that helps us enjoy the outdoors.
As Arctic Fox grows, I want that original intention to remain at the heart of everything we do. My friends know I’m a firm believer that comfort is key. I hope you feel that in our pieces, and that they become as familiar and well-loved as that scarf is to me.
Along the way, we’ll keep asking questions about our materials and how we work, learning where we can do better and finding ways to improve.
Thank you for being part of our story."

What matters to us
As of February 2026, we’ve awarded over £42,739 to organisations working to protect the planet.
We believe caring for the natural world is part of doing business. We donate 5% of our profits to WWF, support ocean clean-up initiatives around the world, a cause particularly close to our hearts, and offset our carbon emissions through the Woodland Trust. Each season, we rehome imperfect pieces, donating all sales proceeds to a customer-chosen charity.
Together, these contributions help protect wildlife, care for our oceans and preserve the landscapes that inspire us, supporting the natural world we all call home.
