Arkivum is the purest expression of rkivecity’s philosophy — a study of garments as living objects that gather value through time.
It celebrates everything that ages naturally, where quiet patina and the marks of use are not erased but revered.
Through its evolving explorations, Arkivum moves from Natural Patina, where stains, frays, and paint splatter are embraced as part of the material’s slow becoming, to Daftar, where pinstripes from another life are reworked into structured essentials. Further traversing into Prints, where old whites and faded denims absorb pattern as memory, through the Back of the Embroidery, where floral threads run in reverse, raw and unfiltered, and finally to the Jungle, where forest-printed garments echo the landscapes they once lived in.
Garments are deconstructed not to be dismantled but to rebuilt, with pieces like double knee pants, box pleat jacket and knife pleat kurtas crafted to endure and evolve through time.
