Seattle Brand Arkëras Featured on Evening Magazine

Founded on three pillars—empathy, elegance, and eco-awareness—Seattle brand Arkëras has re-invented the traditional patient gown and is leading the way in adaptable clothing with sustainably-minded gowns designed for style, accessibility, and ease of movement.

The collection features thoughtfully designed and sustainably crafted patient gowns and adaptive clothing that offer dignity, comfort, and support during life’s significant moments. Hailing from the Pacific Northwest, Arkëras gowns are designed locally, sourced domestically, and produced using a range of eco-friendly fabrics including linen, modal, and organic cotton, for soft, touchable luxury.

Traditional patient gowns are made to be “one-size-fits-all” with an awkward and immodest fit. By stark contrast, Arkëras gowns are made with style in mind and designed to feel soft, fit well, and provide accessibility and coverage. Each gown features unique design elements that equally aid a patient, caretaker, and/or hospital staff.

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).

Founder Tammera Mason recently had the chance to share the brand story with King 5’s Evening Magazine.
