They are a team of 3 brothers that are based in Alabama and California. They all work 9-5 jobs but have a passion in fashion and streetwear culture. One of the brothers, @barretthibbett had the first vision and started his own brand back in 2019 but him and his 2 brothers, @hayden_hibbett and Griffin Hibbett, decided to team up in 2023 to grow the brand even more. Barrett works directly with his best friend, Timvo Voa, who lives in Ho Chi Minh and they produce all the clothing items together. We visit Ho Chi Minh multiple times a year to collaborate but more importantly to hang out with our homies and expand our vision even more. Every piece you see is a handmade piece that is designed and created with purpose. Arete is a multi-cultural company that is growing everyday and determined to become a staple in the streetwear industry with a focus in high quality denim and lifestyle clothing for years to come. Because if not us, who will?

We ship all orders usually within 24 hours. Since we are a team of three with 9-5 jobs, sometimes it can take 48-72 hours to get your order packed and shipped. We do understand you may need your order shipped sooner so please give us a email at contact@areteusa.co and we will try our best to get you shipped within your requested timeframe. FYI: We are planning to hire a shipping team for our warehouse in Alabama to ship all orders out within 24 hours but please understand bare with our growing pains. We guarantee our products will be well worth the wait.
