About us - Poet Archives

 

We first started as a small brand called "CulturetheShop" on Depop. It was a shop like many others, finding and selling unique used clothing, sourced from charity shops.However as our brand grew and gained followers, so did our ambition. We soon got hooked on the intricacies of design and started to create our own products, with the intent of sharing our passion and ideas with other people.

We then opened our own website, and it was time to change the brand from a simple store on Depop, into a recognizable streetwear label. The brand name had to be something all-encompassing, something that can take inspiration from an unlimited number of sources, as well as give us the ability to turn them into relevant designs that would resonate with an aware audience. Thus, Poet Archives was born.

At our core, each one of us is a poet. We find an ingrained need to tell stories and express ourselves creatively, taking inspiration from the world around us. Poetry itself may be considered a thing of the past, however we feel that turning reality into art will always be a necessary and noble undertaking. Poetry is still widely influential on our culture, as it depicts the reality of its time, and comments on current affairs. This is what we want to do as Poet Archives, Poetry through clothing, through thought-out and inspired designs
