Meet The Seattle Brand Revamping Patient Gowns

Seattle is a city known for its rich history of innovation. In fact, there’s a long list of amazing inventions that originated right here in the Emerald City including the Sonicare Toothbrush, the down-filled jacket from Eddie Bauer, compact discs, wireless telephones, and even the sport of Pickleball. We’re also known for making things that already exist even better, including coffee, online shopping, organic chocolate, and more.

So it’s no surprise that when it comes to fashion, Seattle brands are always in the process of finding creative ways to make things better. Take, for example, the traditional patient gown used in hospitals and clinical settings. It’s usually made from thin, scratchy fabric and designed to be “one-size-fits-all”, which generally means it actually fits no one. So, Seattle brand Arkëras decided to change that by introducing a new line of gowns that leads the way in adaptable clothing.

The debut collection features 3 sustainably-minded gowns designed for style, accessibility, and ease of movement. Produced using a range of eco-friendly fabrics including linen, modal, and organic cotton, the Arkëras collection offers soft, touchable luxury and unique design elements to enhance wellness journeys of all kinds.

Signature Styles

• The Classic style features an original silhouette that supports ease of dressing and concern for dignity with size inclusivity in mind. Inspired by the need for functionality, it is well suited to any stage of mobility and any body shape.

• The Wrap offers two gowns in one with unique reverse styling functionality. Choose from a V-neck wrap front or a scoop neck open back. Either way, modesty, and accessibility are preserved. Although suitable for any health journey, The Wrap was designed with maternity in mind and supports all stages of motherhood.

• The Henley is as easy as your favorite tee. Featuring a front placket with non-metal snaps (to keep company with pacemakers), this style features signature back panels that provide simultaneous access and coverage. This gender-neutral gown is great for anyone who craves cozy warmth and easy style.

A stunning 67% of people report that a standard hospital gown does not fit their body. With size inclusivity in mind, Arkëras created gowns that flow and drape across a full spectrum of body types. The easy-fit size range runs from XS (size 0-2) to XXL (size 16-20).

Arkëras gowns are FDA-registered and approved for use in clinical settings. They are perfect for all seasons of life and all reasons of care including:

• Annual Wellness Exams

• Labor & Delivery

• Medical Examinations

• Elective Surgery

• Plastic Surgery

• Surgery Recovery

• Hospital Stays

• Hospice Care

• Cancer Care

• Spa Retreats

• Wellness Weekends

• and more

The Arkëras Collection is thoughtfully-designed and sustainably crafted to give individuals the dignity, support, and comfort the deserve while experiencing life’s significant moments.
