“I came across Aro because [they] put some Comme Six magazines on sale. Then I regularly visited the London Fields store for Comme pieces. “Then I met Joseph Delaney and Matt King and have been cast in two projects so far! I don’t model anymore but for Aro... I say yes, because it feels more like a portrait and personal than modelling clothes. I like that.“ — @williamcult Here Willy wears pink Final Home nylon top, Dexter Wong sheet shirt and vacuum sealed “Cum Rag” wash cloth.

“I first knew you guys when you joined an ‘accelerator’ I was running that helped businesses with all sorts of things, from strategy & business planning to legal, marketing & HR. “Turns out you didn’t really need it, as you were killing it already, and continued to do so for the many years that came after that — doing things that I’m not sure I’m even intellectually or creatively capable of doing! “Since, we’ve become close friends, and every now and then I get a call asking for advice on a tricky problem that Aro’s already solved - so all I need to do is say “sounds good” and I’m given the esteemed title of ‘Business Advisor” - easiest job ever!” — @alexpottervc ARO ARCHIVE ADVENT YEARBOOK 🧡 To mark a year since we opened our shop in French Place, we’re celebrating the community that have made it all possible with a picture per day, each paired with an item from our holiday gift shop.

“I think maybe 7 years ago I passed by Aro’s broadway market shop, came in out of interest as place looked different to any other consignment store. I started talking as I always do.

“I first came across Aro Archive when the shop opened on Ada Street (not 100% sure when, but feels like ages ago—maybe 15years?!) “I’ve been a customer ever since—it’s my favourite shop. I’ve also used the archive for [design] research working for various companies. 🤍” — @annettehultzsch To mark a year since we opened our shop in French Place, we’re celebrating the community that have made it all possible with a picture per day, each paired with an item from our holiday gift shop.

“I first knew Ariana & Hoana from the original ‘Strut’, on Stoke Newington Church Street, about 2008 I think. “As much as I’ve always loved second-hand clothing it’s the family feel of Aro Archive which I’ve enjoyed as much as anything—this can be the taste that I can always relate to, whether it’s more typical of mine, or the new & experimental ideas that keep filtering through the frequent interactions we all have, as friends. “I have also worked a number of days on the shop-floor over the years, as well as DJ’d at several parties for them and organised and arrange musical performances and dj’s at the shop.” — @mickedgindagame ARO ARCHIVE ADVENT YEARBOOK 🧡 To mark a year since we opened our shop in French Place, we’re celebrating the community that have made it all possible with a picture per day, each paired with an item from our holiday gift shop.
