ABOUT US
ARCHIF is a curated vintage and secondhand marketplace based in Lebanon.
Founded by Aya Safieddine, the idea came after Aya’s Jido (grandfather) passed away. His signature blazers were quietly given away after he passed, and it felt like part of his story had disappeared with them.
That moment sparked a thought: what if clothes could hold memory? What if we could pass them on with care, not just as objects, but as archives of the people who wore them?
Out of that moment came ARCHIF—a platform rooted in the belief that clothes carry memory.
The name itself is drawn from the Arabic word for “archive,” reflecting the brand’s core philosophy: that fashion is more than trend or function—it’s a living archive of our lives. Every piece tells a story, and ARCHIF is where those stories can be preserved, shared, and passed on.
ARCHIF offers handpicked pieces, championing sustainability not just in practice, but in spirit—by valuing the emotional and cultural legacies present in the items that we wear.
The platform is intentionally curated to ensure everything listed reflects ARCHIF’s values: thoughtful consumption, sustainability, and emotional connection to the things we wear.
The platform reflects our ethos of intentional, story-driven fashion. ARCHIF is a space where memory meets material, and where garments are treated with the dignity and depth they deserve.
At its heart, ARCHIF is a love letter to those who came before us and the pieces they left behind. It's a tribute to personal history, a celebration of style with soul, and a commitment to rewriting the future of fashion—one story at a time.
