About us - Poet Archives

 Poet Archives started as something small—a Depop store called CulturetheShop, where we hunted for unique second-hand gems in local charity shops. It was simple, raw, and real. But as our following grew, so did our ambition. We weren’t content with just curating—we wanted to create.

Design became an obsession. We fell in love with the challenge of turning ideas, feelings, and cultural moments into garments. That was the turning point—from reselling to storytelling.

We launched our own website. We changed the name. We needed something bigger—something that could hold weight, history, and imagination. That’s when Poet Archives was born.

At our core, we believe everyone is a poet. Some write with words. We write with fabric, thread, ink, and ideas. Our designs pull from philosophy, rebellion, music, literature, and modern life. From street corners to ancient texts, we find meaning and turn it into wearable art. Poetry isn’t dead—it’s just dressed differently now.

Poet Archives is for the thinkers, the observers, the quiet disruptors. We make clothing that resonates with those who see the world a little differently—who care about stories, not just style. Every hoodie, tee, and cap is a small piece of a larger message. A reflection. A rebellion. A line from a longer poem.

We’re still independent. Still growing. With a couple thousand Instagram followers, hundreds of daily site visitors, and a growing community, we know we’re just getting started. But what drives us hasn’t changed—telling stories that matter, and designing with intention.

Welcome to Poet Archives—where every piece is a page from the modern-day poet’s journal.
