The Story of Fifth Archive

Founded by a 17-year-old from Belgium, Fifth Archive was built on real experience in the resell scene. Years of flipping, sourcing, and learning the market laid the foundation. But it was the classics — Stone Island, C.P. Company, and Ralph Lauren that elevated the vision and gave this project its OG identity.

What started on Vinted beforehand quickly grew. From online sales to working with other resellers and even physical stores across Belgium, the hustle turned into something bigger.

Over time, I realized I didn’t just want to be a supplier. I wanted to build something of my own. That’s when I started 5th Archive — to build my own page, my own audience, on my own terms.

The focus had been on high-quality second-hand pieces from brands like Stone Island, C.P. Company, and Ralph Lauren. These labels influenced my journey, and defined the early aesthetic.

After a long three-month break from reselling, I came back with a new style and direction. I began curating and selling high-end designer archive pieces, expanding beyond the classics into a deeper appreciation for craftsmanship, history, and culture.

The idea for 5th Archive had been with me for a while, but it truly came to life during a period of revalidation after an almost fatal crash. That experience changed everything — it was the wake-up call I needed to stop procrastinating and start doing what I really wanted.

Today, 5th Archive stands as a curated space for second-hand and designer archive pieces — every item handpicked, every drop built on taste, quality, and culture.
