about us

Our mission is to keep products in use for as long as possible

With backgrounds in sustainability and technology, Archive founders Emily Gittins and Ryan Rowe launched the company with the belief that technology had an important role to play in helping to reduce fashion’s environmental footprint. Archive’s technology enables brands to take control of their secondhand markets, build circularity into their business models, and reduce the need to constantly produce new products to achieve growth.

Emily began her career in strategy consulting working with consumer and technology clients at BCG London. She went on to work at Google X on a stealth fashion concept. Her work at Google made her keenly aware of the environmental impact of the fashion industry, and she focused her graduate studies at Stanford University on how the circular economy could reduce fashion’s environmental impact. It was out of this program that the idea for Archive was born.
