The concept for Global Archive began during my junior year at Parsons in 2020. As a new father to my son, Grayson, I wanted to dress him in pieces that reflected the soul of my own wardrobe—specifically, a perfectly oversized bomber jacket. I quickly realized the market was broken: it was either disposable fast fashion or "luxury" labels with price points that make zero sense for a growing child. Boys deserve menswear-standard design without the BS
I knew I had to master the craft before I could change it. After graduating, I sharpened my tools at brands that define the modern wardrobe: Handvaerk (materiality), COS (simplicity), and Canada Goose (performance).
Global Archive is the result— It is an extension of my own life—that of a traveler who grew up between worlds and cultures. My personal archive was built in the boutiques of Antwerp, the hidden flea markets of Dongmyo, and the floors of Dover Street Market.
But this brand isn’t just about my history; it’s a reminder of where we all come from.
A Global Perspective
We are building an archive for the "global" child. We design for the kids who, like me, didn't grow up within the confines of just one culture. We believe their unique, multicultural backgrounds are their greatest strength, and every piece we create is designed to be a durable, intentional part of their story.
