ARCHIVE began as a personal response to the cycle of overconsumption in fashion. I’ve always been drawn to the character and craftsmanship of vintage pieces—their ability to hold stories, their enduring quality, their individuality. But more than that, I wanted to create something that pushed back against the disposable nature of fast fashion. ARCHIVE became my way of doing just that—one reworked piece at a time.

At the heart of ARCHIVE is a dedication to sustainability. Every garment reflects a belief in slowing down, consuming less, and cherishing more—offering a meaningful alternative through design that honors the past while dressing the present.

I run ARCHIVE as a small-scale studio, by choice. It allows me to stay deeply connected to each part of the process. My hope is that ARCHIVE inspires people to think differently about their wardrobes: to invest in pieces that carry meaning, that last, and that make them feel like themselves. It’s fashion with purpose.
