That's me (Ben) at our first ever popup in Manchester. I've been buying, selling and trading vintage and streetwear since 2017 — starting small, reselling my own wardrobe under a couple of early names (Ben's Bits & Bobs, Studio6), before launching The Streetwear Studio online in 2020.

In 2026 we became ARCHIVE. New name, same obsession: hand-picking the rarest, most desirable pieces we can find anywhere in the world and bringing them to our Manchester showroom — open by appointment, so you can take your time with the collection. Where we're going next is nothing short of madness, and I hope you'll be there with us along the way.
