About Us

Naming Sleepless Archive was something I really didn't want to rush. Nothing I tried felt right, so I decided to wait and see if something came to me. I was spending a lot of my time working on the shop - a lot of late nights, early mornings and lunch breaks from my regular job to create Sleepless Archive. I wasn't switching off from it, it was the kind of time you only give to something you really care about. I had always liked the idea of it being an archive, and then at some point it just clicked and Sleepless Archive was born.

Sleepless Archive was created around the idea that vintage shouldn't feel inaccessible or out of reach. Not overpriced, not impossible to find anything good - just genuinely good pieces, made easier to get your hands on.

I wanted to create a shop that reflects my own taste as I felt that was missing in the market slightly. Not just rails of clothes, but pieces you genuinely love, wear, keep and come back for. the kind you don't forget about. The kind you lose sleep over.

Everything is handpicked, one piece at a time. No bulk buying or filler pieces, just pieces that are worth it. Everything you see has been found with a specific person in mind and sourced with intention

I didn't expect this to be one of my favourite parts of doing this, but I love getting to meet new faces and seeing familiar faces at pop-ups and feel so grateful getting to do so. The love and support Sleepless Archive gets still feels a bit unreal, but I love building this little community, and hope I get to keep meeting you all! x

You'll usually find us at pop-ups and markets - this is just the online version!
