Join Archive in our mission to change consumer behavior for the better. If you think humans buy too much stuff and throw too much away, then this problem is for you. We’re starting with fashion and expanding from there.

Archive is building an ‘operating system for resale’ that delivers a customized online secondhand marketplace site and the underlying infrastructure and operations to plug into all of the other facets of a brand’s global resale strategy.

Concretely, this means more brands with resale programs, and more consumers buying and selling used things. Fashion is 8% of global emissions and 20% of global wastewater, and has a huge negative human rights footprint, among other issues. Help us chip away at this problem and make an positive impact in this world with us!
