We offer specialised research services tailored to inspire and support designers, creative directors, and brands. Our work is rooted in deep industry experience, an obsessive eye for detail, and an understanding that true innovation is born from exceptional research.
SERVICES:
CURATED VINTAGE ARCHIVE We source and provide rare vintage garments, textiles, accessories, and ephemera, organised by era, style, and design relevance. Perfect for hands-on inspiration, product development, and collection building.
STYLING AND DESIGN CONSULTANCY We offer in-depth creative consultancy, including fit model styling, conceptual development, material selection, and garment detailing to help translate research into finished designs.
ARCHIVAL AND HISTORICAL RESEARCH We create customised research packages featuring archival photography, reference imagery, trend analysis, and breakdowns of historical movements designed to spark fresh thinking and ground new collections in authentic storytelling.
RENTAL Pieces from our archive are available for short-term rental, offering flexibility for mood boards, fittings, photoshoots, and design teams looking for direct tactile reference. We have access to an extensive archive of items not shown online, that can be called upon for specific projects.
CUSTOM RESEARCH COMMISSIONS We collaborate with brands and designers to build entirely bespoke research projects from specific product category studies (e.g., “evolution of the trench coat”) to broader seasonal concept development.
Our philosophy is simple:
GREAT DESIGN IS BORN FROM GREAT RESEARCH
Our role is to make that research accessible, visual, tactile, and directly usable, never dry. Please contact us to begin a conversation about your project needs.
