Future Archive is a Naarm/Melbourne based Fashion practice tackling textile waste issues through research led design.

Through photographically archiving discarded textile items, Future Archive challenges consumer culture by showing the condition items are currently being discarded, and highlighting how much more life these materials have to offer. This archive becomes a library of materials, available to be reimagined into made-to-order bags that can be virtually sampled before being put into production.

Supported by the pillars of innovation, transparency, and connection Future Archive explores textile waste issues by offering well designed products as a proposal for reuse, as well as serving as a hub for education through research, writing and teaching.
