THE BRAND

Archivio was born from the desire to create an essential and timeless wardrobe, made up of versatile pieces that transcend trends and adapt to any occasion. I love working with light layering, playing with infinite combinations of a few carefully selected pieces.
Elegant and lightweight pieces that can be worn anywhere, effortlessly creating sophisticated looks.

When I founded Archivio, the brand followed the traditional fashion cycle, producing two collections per year. Over time, I realized that my true passion lay in creating timeless wardrobe essentials, pieces that form the foundation of a wardrobe and remain relevant season after season. The structured masculine coat, the flowing slip dress, the sensual fitted shirt, each piece is meticulously designed to enhance and celebrate the female silhouette.

After moving to Sicily, my vision for the brand evolved. I wanted to align Archivio with my new lifestyle, embracing a slower and more intentional approach to fashion. Today, Archivio stands as an alternative to fast fashion, offering carefully crafted garments handmade by expert artisans using only natural and high-quality fabrics. Each piece tells a story, a testament to the dedication and precision woven into it.

To me, fashion is not just about what we wear, but about preserving craftsmanship, honoring the past, and creating something meant to last.

THE VALUE OF ARCHIVIO: OUR SEAMSTRESSES

Archivio is built on three fundamental principles: time, knowledge, and craftsmanship.

Every garment is the result of a meticulous process, respecting traditional tailoring techniques while embracing a contemporary sensibility.
I work closely with a team of skilled artisans who dedicate their time and expertise to perfecting each piece. Their mastery is essential at every stage of the process, from design to production to the final delivery to our clients.

These artisans are not just skilled workers; they are seamstresses, women who carry generations of tradition and craftsmanship. With meticulous dedication, they bring each piece to life, weaving their passion and talent into every garment. Their work is not just about creating clothing but about preserving a legacy of Italian excellence, passed down through time.

Beyond their technical expertise, there is a profound emotional connection to what they create. Every piece is made with care and love for the client, designed not only to fit the body but to enhance the confidence and presence of the wearer. From design to production, every phase is imbued with a commitment to beauty, durability, and quality.

For me, their role in Archivio goes far beyond production; they are collaborators, visionaries, and custodians of an art that deserves to be celebrated. Without their dedication, Archivio would not exist in its purest form. It is through their hands that the brand’s philosophy truly comes to life.
