archiv175 is an independent fashion brand, born from the desire to create clothing that is not just worn, but understood. The brand emerged from the ambition to connect visual culture, social consciousness, and textiles – in a language that is direct, sometimes uncomfortable, but always intentional. Here, clothing is not seen as a passing trend, but as a lasting medium for reflection and communication.
Design with Meaning
Every product starts with an idea. Often inspired by queer subcultures, power structures, personal memory, or collective history. Our designs are not loud, but they carry weight. They do not simply display visuals – they convey meaning. Graphically reduced, conceptually precise. archiv175 views fashion as a visual archive of the present.
Production & Materials
Our textiles are manufactured in carefully selected facilities, primarily in Bangladesh and Turkey. These raw garments are produced under fair and controlled conditions and later printed. Many of our fabrics are made from certified organic cotton or recycled fibers. Working conditions, material standards, and environmental requirements are regularly reviewed by independent bodies. We also take responsibility in packaging – many of our materials come from FSC-certified sources or are made from recycled paper.
Sustainability & Shipping
Each garment is printed only after your order. This print-on-demand model helps reduce overproduction and conserve resources. Final production and shipping – depending on the destination – are carried out from Latvia, Spain, or the Netherlands. This may extend delivery times slightly compared to conventional online shops, but it reflects our commitment to only produce what is truly needed.
archiv175 speaks to people who don’t see clothing as a neutral layer, but as a reflection of attitude. To those who are interested in design, subtext, and context. Our pieces are not made to please – they are made to create connection. Between wearer and message. Between past and present. Between surface and meaning.
