GIVE BACK:
Already with the SHERPA x ARCADE Rambler Belt in Fall/Winter 2019 ARCADE Belts funded the school education of children in Nepal donating parts of its sales profits. Again, ARCADE is giving necessary support in the figurative sense as well. Their aim is to give something back to this world. We as tree distribution are more than proud to be exclusively responsible for the distribution of this cool brand that sets a good example to others.
