With a lifelong passion for fashion, I began selling on depop as a way to declutter my wardrobe and make a little extra cash. What started as a fun side project soon evolved into something much more significant. Throughout this journey, I discovered my business skills, realizing that I had a talent for spotting unique pieces, marketing them effectively, and providing a seamless shopping experience for my customers. The positive feedback and enthusiasm I received from customers when they found something special on my platform was incredibly fulfilling and inspired me to take my hobby to the next level.

On June 3rd, 2024, adora archive was born. Inspired by my name, Adaorah, adora archive is more than just a collection of vintage items—it's a curated archive of stories and styles waiting to be rediscovered. I hope to create a space where others can find unique, beautiful vintage pieces that I personally adore; pieces that align with their own individual style and personality.

Through adora archive, I aspire to build a community of vintage fashion enthusiasts who appreciate the distinctiveness and beauty of these timeless items. Whether you're in search of a standout statement piece or a subtle addition to your wardrobe, I hope you find something that brings you joy and inspiration, just as it does for me. Thank you for joining me on this journey and supporting a dream that grew from a simple closet cleanout into a cherished business.
