The range contains everything from gems from the fashion chains to exclusive designer garments from brands including Rodebjer, Totême, Malene Birger, Acne, Other Stories and Filippa K. With its unique concept, shops in Stockholm and Gothenburg as well as Arkivet Online, as an online presence. Arkivet is a key player in the Swedish second hand market. ARKIVET was founded in 2017 in Stockholm by Caroline Hamrin, who early recognized that second-hand would go from a marginalized part of the fashion retail to play an important role in the industry’s strive for circularity. Starting the first store back in 2017 the company now has 80 employees, 1 million annual physical visitors and trades that more than 300 000 items. The business model is based on consignment sales from private consumers. What separates ARKIVET from other second hand stores is the concept a high degree of fashion and great focus lies on the experience and feeling in the store. ARKIVET aims to, and has been part of, normalize the common view upon second-hand and to simplify and make it fun for the customers to consume fashion in a sustainable way. The concept is simple: bring the clothes that you no longer use but could consider to buy since they are still trendy and in good condition.
