Queens of Archive

At Feather & Stitch we’re thrilled to introduce Queens of Archive, a brand that fuses vintage glamour with a contemporary edge. Under Creative Director Nicola Orme, Queens of Archive is inspired by the freedom and femininity of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Nicola draws on decades of industry experience to craft pieces rooted in craftsmanship, storytelling and adventure. She treasures print and vintage finds, seeking out treasures in flea markets and working with artisans to create garments that feel both bold yet wearable and timeless yet free‑spirited.

This ethos comes to life in the brand’s beautiful blouses and dresses, which combine nostalgic prints, luxurious fabrics and modern silhouettes. Expect breezy blouses in shimmering fabrics with feminine draped neckties, puff shoulders and soft gathers - perfect for dressing up denim or tucking into tailored trousers for an elegant evening look. The dresses evoke a relaxed glamour with tiered skirts, fluid movement and details like fluttering sleeves and self‑tie necklines. Prints range from cheetah motifs to metallic geometrics, each catching the light with just enough shimmer to feel special without being overdone.

Queens of Archive doesn’t follow trends; instead, it creates limited‑edition pieces designed to become staples in your wardrobe. Each blouse and dress is cut to flatter, whether you’re after an effortless day look or something more elevated for evening, and crafted in fabrics like viscose blends and lurex chiffon that feel as good as they look.

Explore the Queens of Archive collection at Feather & Stitch and discover blouses and dresses that whisper of another era while fitting perfectly into a modern wardrobe. These are garments you’ll reach for again and again, full of personality, femininity and a hint of vintage drama.
