Archives by Lea began as a collection of archival designer pieces from the 1990s and 2000s, founded by stylist Lea. For several years, she has been sourcing and collecting designer garments.

The collection first took shape around Helmut Lang pieces, driven by a deep appreciation for minimalism. It then expanded to include creations by Dolce & Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli, drawn to their bold cuts and exceptional fabrics, before turning to Gucci and Chloé, fashion houses behind some of the most iconic runway shows of the late 1990s. Today, the collection also features pieces by Margiela, Prada, Versace, and many others. Carrying out in-depth research using runway imagery and the study of label typography to accurately determine each piece’s year of origin.

After several years dedicated exclusively to rental for stylists, advertising campaigns, celebrities, and publications such as i-D, POP, Amina Muaddi, Self Service, Double, Acne Paper and more, Archives by Lea now opens an online store alongside it’s archive collection. Each piece is meticulously selected for its rarity and uniqueness, perfectly aligned with the aesthetic of Archives by Lea.
