The archive
that talks back.

A reference desk for fashion.

What lives inside

A digital archive of clothing
A.01

Designer lineage

Trace a house from founder to present. Who trained where, which collection changed everything, and the story behind a single garment.

A.02

Runway memory

Collections by season, look, and reference. Ask what walked, when it showed, and how a silhouette traveled across decades.

A.03

Rare piece intel

The grails and the obscure. Production years, fabric notes, and how to tell a real one from a reproduction.

A.04

Image search

Upload a photo. arch identifies the piece, names the collection, and returns live listings that link straight to the seller.

A.05

Digital closet

Save pieces you own or want. Track prices across multiple listings and platforms, all in one tracked view.

A.06

The floor

A shared room of collectors. Trade leads, ask for help sourcing, and find the piece someone else already located.

03

Find it by photo

Image search across platforms

Saw a jacket in a film still or a friend's post and have no name to go on? Drop the image in. arch reads the garment, places the collection, and pulls real listings you can buy from.

That's the AW2003 reissue, not the original cut. Watch the lining.
