Archive New York
About
Archive is what happens when a design eye meets a love story with Guatemala. Founder Amira Marion grew up surrounded by the vibrant handwoven textiles her parents collected on a serendipitous trip to Lake Atitlán in the ’70s, a trip that was supposed to end in Argentina but instead sparked a lifelong passion. Decades later, that early inspiration became Archive New York, a textile brand that celebrates and preserves traditional weaving techniques from Guatemala, Mexico, and India. Each collection begins like a treasure hunt, unearthing rare vintage fabrics and nearly-forgotten motifs before reviving them with the help of skilled artisans who carry centuries of craft in their hands. The result? Pieces that honor cultural heritage while feeling perfectly at home in a modern space. Every design tells a story of color, culture, and connection, lovingly crafted under fair trade principles to ensure artisans are paid fairly and traditions endure. Archive doesn’t just make home goods; it keeps history alive, one thread at a time.
