About us


Welcome to Backyardarchive!

Our passion for clothes and the growing necessity of sustainable thinking environmentally and economically resulted in our vision for changing the way people shop their favorite designer garments. We want to create a realm for the young and old to find themselves in timeless and long-lasting pieces that are set apart from trends, logo mania and other superficialities. Expensive clothes only get expensive if you source them in the wrong way - for us it is important that our buyers will not lose a lot of value with their purchase if they take good care of their Garments.

Backyardarchive was founded by 2 brothers from Vienna who share the same love for high-end clothing and see fashion as a way of creating your individual appearance. Thats why we focus on extremely limited pieces that sometimes even only exist once such as samples or runway prototypes. We have been able to grow a global supply-chain of brands, boutiques and private sellers that help us source the best of the best from our favorite designers such as Haider Ackermann, Miuccia Prada, Raf Simons, Hedi Slimane and more. 

Our portfolio includes of a range of Designer Clothes, Shoes & Accessories, including Grails that mark highlights in recent fashion history and affordable basic Pieces. We give our customers a trustworthy source for their desired Pieces while making them accessible at a reasonable price point. 

At the end of the day, we are a company that has to sustain itself financially but we invest nearly all of our profits directly back into our Collection - which draws to our main goal: creating one of the best designer Archives in the world and making Vienna an important part of modern fashion. 

While our main business is selling the clothes we pick out ourselves we also consign items that fit our collection and offer many of our pieces for rent.

In 2023 we moved to our new Head Quarter in the beautiful 8th District of Vienna. From there we handle the whole operation and for the first time also have a appointment-only Showroom that is open for the Public to visit
