AKAIBU Store, Vienna
ĀKAIBU means archive
ĀKAIBU is how you say archive in Japanese, and that is what we deal in: clothes that mattered when they came out and still do. Most of what you find here is Maison Martin Margiela, Helmut Lang, Raf Simons, Rick Owens, Comme des Garçons, Yohji Yamamoto, Chanel and Dior under John Galliano and Hedi Slimane. Some of it walked a runway in the nineties, some of it is from last season. Clothing mostly, but also shoes, bags and accessories.
We are a small team in Vienna. Menswear runs under AKAIBU, womenswear under AVA. Every piece goes through our hands before it goes online: we check it and photograph it ourselves, and we guarantee that it is authentic. If you are in town, you can see everything in person at our showroom at Lerchenfelder Straße 63 in the seventh district, just write us for an appointment. Everyone else gets their order by UPS, worldwide.
Have something at home that belongs here? We take pieces on consignment and pay out up to 80 %. Looking for one specific piece? Tell us and we will look for it. We also authenticate pieces you bought elsewhere, from €19, and lend from the archive to stylists and magazines for shoots.
