What is the difference between ARCHIVE and LIMIT?

The ARCHIVE is made up of pieces that act as building blocks to obtain a capsule wardrobe.
The LIMIT series includes limited edition end of run designer fabrics, or style variations to Archive pieces, subject to availabilty.

Why does the item I'm looking at say 'Pre Order'?

HB Archive works on a made to order (Pre Order) system. If a HB Archive piece says 'Unavailable' this means it's a Pre Order garment. Pre Orders open on the 1st of every month for selected pieces.

How do I Pre Order something?

On the 1st of the month Pre Orders open for selected garments. There is a special focus on certain fabrics and/ or items each month, you can get in touch with your required item (fabric, width, length) to make sure they are available. The more info the better!

Can I try something on in person?

Unfortunately HB Archive does not have the capacity for fittings, having no stock held. However, you can find certain garments and accessories in our stockists (see below).

I need help deciding a size!

No worries! Before you get in contact, be sure to check out the sizing page, and refer to product descriptions to find measurements of each garment. Remember that the LETTER (A,B,C) represents the garment width, and the NUMBER (1,2,3) is length.

If you still need some help feel free to send your relevant measurements, as well as your styling preferences (e.g. if you wear more fitted, or oversized), and the garment you are looking at.

I saw a fabric, or LIMIT variation online that I'd like to order!

Send an email with the details on which fabric, and garment with size (width and length) to see if it's possible! Screen-shots and photos are helpful.
If it's an old post on instagram it could be made from LIMIT fabrics - these are locally sourced designer dead-stock and may be all gone :(

Please note that full payment is needed to secure your LIMIT order. If not received within 2 days of invoice being sent the fabric may be given to the next in line.
