    An original line launched in 2020 as a new brand produced by ARKnets. With “clothes that are always there as a matter of course” as its guiding principle, it is designed to build on basics with “a subtle accent” and focuses on items for everyday use. Within ARKnets, it has a role distinct from “ONLY ARK,” which centers on exclusive collaborations, and occupies a position among the company’s original offerings that strengthens the foundations of the wardrobe. It also supports “PORT BY ARK’s” classic direction from an everyday perspective.
