CIRCULAR FASHION AT THE HEART OF THE ARCHIVE CLOSET

The Archive Closet embarks on the journey of a circular economy for fashion. We strive to tackle the overconsumption and the root causes of global challenges such as global warming, biodiversity loss, ocean and air pollution. The Archive Closet is a brand that is guided by “Less is More” values, truly challenging the status quo of fashion. The core values of The Archive Closet are anchored by three main principles of circularity: eliminate waste to zero-waste and pollution, keep products and materials in circular use, and regenerate natural systems while creating unique, distinctive, and one of a kind products. At The Archive Closet you can experience an unbeatable treasure hunt for unique vintage pieces. 

​

At The Archive Closet, the upcycling of premium vintage clothing ensures that the products are reused and not landfilled, giving a second, more modern and reinvented life to be enjoyed for years to come. The Archive Closet stands for the circular economy and its principles in business and fashion, counter to practices that include landfill, incineration, and waste to energy.

All our products are mindfully selected and sourced to be of good and durable quality - made to last. We are sourcing more materials locally, reducing their carbon footprint and providing more support for local communities, like tailors and seamstresses. Products and their materials are designed to be disassembled, reused, remade, and upcycled into modern and stylish pieces while striving to do that with zero-waste. 

Our packaging is aligned with the circular economy: packaging is minimised and is made from reusable, recyclable, or compostable materials. Circularity, sustainable consumption, and the “one-of-a-kind” concept are at the heart of the brand, which allows The Archive Closet to deliver remade products with a purpose for customers while contributing to a resilient and thriving fashion industry and regenerating our planet. 

From linear model [take, make, waste] to closed-loop model of Circularity = closing the loop. Sustainability and circular economy extend the lifecycle of the product. 

At The Archive Closet we embrace circularity to become the norm!
