As Paris Men's Fashion Week buzzes, the Archivist Store established by Sami Taider attracts vintage enthusiasts and fashion professionals alike. Opened in December 2022, it stands out for its curated selection that spans a diverse array of eras and styles, setting itself apart from niche vintage shops. The store serves as a hub for collectors and style experts, catering to those with a keen eye for pieces like '90s Issey Miyake or Stussy attire. Taider works tirelessly to maintain the shop's reputation during peak fashion seasons, emphasizing the importance of daily customer engagement.
Fashion week is the busiest time of the year, Mr. Taider said, taking a break for an interview at a corner bistro. But when you have a business like this, it's important to have people coming every day.
Since opening its doors in December 2022, the Archivist Store, with its uncluttered, white-walled interior, has become the Paris men's resale mecca.
If you ask a certain breed of shopper – someone who collects '90s Issey Miyake sweaters or who can tell the age of a Stussy tee by its label – it's the best vintage store in the city, if not the world.
It's all in the mix. Vintage stores tend to have a parochial focus on one period or class of clothing.
